I've got a Leica 3c made between 1940 and 1950 and Leica had it far from
right. I also have Kodak Retina IIa and Retina IIc cameras of roughly
the same vintage. Both are pleasures to shoot with compared to the Leica.

Back when the K10D was announced I think Pentax marketing re badged all
the MZ-D/MR-52 prototype bodies that they still had in shop to K-1, for
some unfathomable reason. Since a name was never officially announced I
guess they could do that if they wanted. Since the Pentax FF 6mp camera

It looks like they have some work to do on that particular filter. OTOH,

That K1 is an MZ-S with a changed decal. The only way that makes
sense (unless it's a straight out leg-pull) is that it's being used as
