Ricoh USA/Europe have announced a rather unique upgrade service for owners of the original Pentax K-1 DSLR - they will replace the camera's main circuit board and the logo on the front, and voila, you have yourself a K-1 Mark II.

The upgrade service will cost $550USD / $690 CAD / £450 and be done for a limited time from May 21, 2018 – September 30, 2018.
