Yes, you can get a used Pentax body for about the same price, but this is new!
Folks complain when they now have another choice for fitting those K-mount lenses to?
Seems to me it's nothing but a good thing...
Whoever did the adv. copy did have a little problem figuring out the metering capability and putting it into words...
Metering Range: EV-1 (F2.2 seconds) to EV -19.5 (F16, 1/30000 seconds)
with ISO 100/21 film and the lens of 50mm f2.0.
And, the camera body shows a top speed of 1/2000, not 1/3000 sec...
Oh well. I still think it's a welcome addition to provide another body for those of us with a lot of K-mount lenses hanging around.
And, not the least, the price is certainly right, isn't it... <g>
Good work, Voightl�nder!

Emne: New Pentax body from Cosina
Apologies if the list has seen this info already. I just saw it on the LUG (Leica Users Group) and wanted to pass it along. No financial interest in Rich Pinto's business, ya da ya da.... Kim

Kobayashi goes "K" with the VSL43: revive those Pentax K lenses!
Another PhotoVillage Exclusive! We are proud to be the first USA dealers to offer the new Cosina-Voigtlander Pentax K-Mount SLR. This is not a high-end camera with tons of bells and whistles, but it IS a great starter camera for someone just getting interested in photography. With a bright finder, 35-70mmf3.5-4.8 zoom lens, a self timer, AE or manual controls, a top speed of 1/3000 sec. and a retro design with a modern finish (matte chrome and black rubberized grip and lens) this is a LOT of camera (& lens) for $225.
