Pentax 50th Anniversary Asahi Pentax DSLR

[Admin]

In the Pentax Square in Shinjuku, Japan Pentax has revealed a special 50th Anniversary edition 'Design Study Model' digital SLR with the tentative name of 'Asahi Pentax'. This prototype camera is based on the K10D (as is obvious on closer inspection) but has a very different viewfinder, which is of the same design as that found on the very first Asahi Pentax from 1957, the first Japanese SLR with a fixed pentaprism viewfinder. Note that there are no plans to put this camera into production, rather it is a celebration of Pentax's 50th anniversary and their long contribution to SLR photography.

Thats pretty cool, only if we could see a photo through the viewfinder for those of us who dont know what it looks like

I have been wanting to buy back some Pentax gear ever since I sold all my Pentax gear to go Canon a few years ago. I really really want to get another 77 limited, and this camera looks like it would go really well with one.
