Latest Family Photos of My Pentax Gear! ;-D

Group Photos:-



Individual:-








Now, you can see how many Pentax bodies and Pentax lenses that I actually have! ;-D

And, the mode dials of the cameras were actually put on by me myself! Well, if you want to do it like me, a punch and glue are required:-



Below are the new different packages of the latest Pentax gear! :-D The colour coding is: Grey for MX Black, White for MX Silver, Blue for K-7 Black, Purple for K-7 Silver, Pink for K-5 Black and finally Green for K-5 Silver~ The cameras came in kits, all K-7s came with primes and K-5s came with zooms and yet MXes came with primes again~~



Last but not least, do note that in the above group photo(s) that there are six bodies (i.e. two MX, two K-5 and two K-7 bodies) and six FA 43 limited lenses but only four DA 18-55 WR and then only two M 40 pancake lenses. Why I acquired them in this way? :-o Just because only FA lenses have the FULL backward and forward compatibility with ALL Pentax bodies ever made but the DA lenses will not work on old film bodies (so four is enough even for matching one body with one lens! ;->) and then the M lenses work on all Pentax DSLRs in a rather handicapped way, with the crippled K-mount. Thus, I do not buy more as they are NOT completely compatible, i.e., with old M or K series Pentax lenses on *any* Pentax DSLR, wide open and real-time metering are actually both NOT possible! >:-(

Only someone who cares who buy and collect these. He also has many real collectibles too.
But quite some Pentax bash-the-basher fanboys believed that I had no real Pentax gear of any! :-o ;-p
$9.95 would not do this set as there was additional cost for the lucky draw! :-) And do note that I have bought more lenses, so that lens changing is not frequently required, e.g., when I want a 43 limited on all cameras! ;-p

Sure, they are about 7-8 bucks a pop. A conversation item to full some for a moment, that it takes photos.. "o)
All these do take photos, can't you see the above!? ;-p
What a collection! But they still call you the biggest Pentax basher of all times. You know the truth about things Pentax, you tell the truth, warts and all, about Pentax, sharing your experience and knowledge generously with others, but people can only react by picking bones in the well intended messages. Truth hurts but without criticism nothing will improve. The childish and selfish behaviour of all those who criticised you, especially in dpreview Pentax SLR forum were the ones who should be ashamed of themselves for their attacks on you, and for glossing over every thing negative about Pentax and for doing everything to make others believe Pentax products were perfect, just because they have some investment also in Pentax equipment and want to protect them.

Thanks. But sometimes "brand bashing" and collection as a hobby have no conflict against each other! :->
I hope these Pentax cameras and lenses are better quality than their real life counterparts. Maybe Pentax should become a toy maker, the multi-colored cameras were a good start.

The cameras are OEMed by Tomy. I found that the quality is not bad! :-o
It looks like you have 4 PENTAX DA 35mm F2.4 lenses. Why so many ?

These are the FA 43 Limited! I got 4 more so that I can put one on each of the 6 bodies without lens changing, as mentioned above! ;-)
Nice Toy...
I Love My real ME tough....
