Pentax Press Release
A limited-edition silver model of the 35mm full-frame digital SLR camera; a high-performance imaging tool allowing the full creative expression
TOKYO, August 27, 2020, －RICOH COMPANY, LTD. and RICOH IMAGING EUROPE, SAS. are pleased to announce the launch of the PENTAX K-1 Mark II Silver Edition. This special silver- colored version of the PENTAX K-series digital SLR flagship model will be available in a limited quantity of 1,000 units worldwide.
Designed for users who are particular about the color and design of their photographic equipment, this limited- edition model was developed to enhance the fun and pleasure of owning a special camera, and to inspire even more active involvement in the photographic process. The camera also features a couple of black parts (the shutter release button and the hot shoe), so users can enjoy different color combinations with interchangeable lenses, both silver or black in color.
The camera body and the detachable battery grip feature a high-grade, fine-textured silver coating, with an exclusive silver SR badge placed on the front of the camera body.
The camera’s shutter release button and hot shoe, as well as the battery grip’s shutter release button, feature black parts, so the camera is coordinated with either black or silver lenses.
Each camera has been given a unique serial number, from 0000001 to 0001000, to further express its exclusiveness.
The detachable battery grip and two exclusive batteries are included in the product package to simultaneously power both the camera body and the battery grip.
This special camera and its accessories come in an exclusively designed product box.
The camera body comes with the latest firmware version pre-installed.
Note: The camera body’s features and specifications are identical with those of the standard model, except for the firmware.
Three limited-edition lenses from the high-performance Star series for use with K-mount digital SLR cameras, designed to meet the demand for color variation
TOKYO, August 27, 2020, －RICOH COMPANY, LTD. and RICOH IMAGING EUROPE, SAS. are pleased to announce the launch of three HD PENTAX-D FA★ Silver Edition lenses:
- HD PENTAX-D FA★50mmF1.4 SDM AW Silver Edition
- HD PENTAX-D FA★70-200mmF2.8ED DC AW Silver Edition
- HD PENTAX-D FA★85mmF1.4ED SDM AW Silver Edition
These special-edition models from the top-of-the-line, high-performance Star series — designed for use with PENTAX K-mount digital SLR cameras — will be available worldwide in a limited quantity of 600 units for each model.
PENTAX has been releasing limited-edition silver models of its digital SLR flagship cameras, to meet the demand for more exclusive imaging tools. The three new lenses, also to be released as limited-edition models, feature an exclusive, high-grade silver coloring ideal for the top-of-the-line D FA★ series. The limited-edition camera bodies marketed in the past, including the PENTAX K-7 Limited Silver (launched in March 2010) and the PENTAX K-1 Limited Silver (launched in September 2017), were designed to match the silver-colored Limited-series lenses, which gained popularity for their high-grade, fine-textured finish. Like the Limited series, these new Star-series lenses feature a silver coating identical to the color of the silver-colored camera bodies, and provide users with the option of a silver lens, not only to improve the quality of their captured images, but also to further personalize their photographic process and shooting style.
The lens’s high-grade silver coating optimizes color with the silver-edition camera bodies.
Each lens has been given a unique serial number, from 0000001 to 0000600, to further express its exclusiveness.
The lenses come in an exclusively designed product box.
Note: The features and specifications of these lenses are identical to those of standard models.
