I'm not so sure, I found this from an 1986 Pentax advertising campaign. Did we only see this in Australia?

Was just using Altavista Babelfish to try to scout any new developments from
Pentax Japan:

Nothing major, but thought this translation was worth a post:
"In new mid-term management plan"growth and enlargement" in keyword, the
technology which covers long time the ? ? ? ? with the centralized ? ? ? the
good ? ? ? ? ? kilogram sushi ? scorpion mustache ? ? � and others, it
raises technical power, brand power and profitability in the basis, assures
the growth and enlargement of continuous business, directs to the completion
"of ??????????? and" starts promoting this plan."
The good kilogram sushi scorpion mustache!
Very cool.
Cheers, Ryan
PS. The rest of the page was vaguely comprehensible, but this one's over my
