Shouldn't we send this over to the Pentax 'THE SKY IS FALLING' list with a short note.
Pentax/Hoya/Samsung are making an end run into the full frame DSLR business. This is an early production sample of the K1. The copy about Leica lenses is just a smoke screen. Look at that lens mount. It's a Pentax K! This camera will be full frame and incorporate GPS (ala the Microsoft partnership). Pentax/Hoya are busy on new lens designs. Samsung/Microsoft are working the bugs out of chips and software. It will all be available for next Christmas. Regards, Bob S. On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:20 AM, P. J.
