I don’t believe this has been mentioned here… Pentax has a K-1 page whereon they have been posting a weekly discourse on the design process for the K-1.
http://www.pentax.com/en/k-1/challengers/challengers04.html I thought this item from this week’s essay would be of interest to those here who have followed Pentax through its up and downs over the last few years: > “...The current design team consists of designers from both RICOH and > former PENTAX. The PENTAX K-1 was the first camera designed by this joint > team…” From the more detailed discussion, it seems that many design elements derive from the K-3 and the 645d & Z. A good thing in my opinion. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
