Subject: Centon K100 and other k1000 clones
Just a quick one.
I read recently here that there is a Chinese camera factory which bought
out the pentax production line for the K1000 and now market it under a
different brand. I didn't pass much heed to it at the time, but I was in my
local Camera store yesterday, and saw a brand called Centon
they had two models advertised, a K-Mount camera called a k100, and an OM
mount camera called and X300.
the k100 looked awfully like a k1000, except it had an all black finish.
So........Does anyone know who centon are? I know they are affiliated with
Jessops in the UK (Large camera chain), but as the camera body was only
about IR�90, which is extremely reasonable, its interesting.
Any info or speculation would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
