Well, without retracting my earlier comment about Pentax retaining their sense of the absurd, I think they also possess a good sense of humor. And if so many can produce such inspired, high quality photos as I see on Instagram with a freekin' cell phone camera, I'm sure that some amusing person will pay the tariff and produce some beautiful work with this little toy like jewelry. Because that's what it's all about, not the camera or the format or the price or anything else.
