Italian Navy Officer Uses Pentax Gear



Source: Navy.81.cn (in Simplified Chinese, Goggle-translated English page here.)

The body and lens combo seems to be a FA*24/2 on a K-5.

I think it's more likely FA 28-80/3.5-5.6 http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/zooms/short/FA28-8...

looks just like mine! I knew I recognized that lens. ;)
Leica has Seal, Brad Pit and some other "Celebrities" using their stuff.
Canon and Nikon both have some more renowned people using their stuff (like Tom Cruise, and some actual Pro Photogs).

Pentax? Well, they've got some Italian-Navy-What's-His-Name-Fella using a K5-Body with an old FA 28-80.

Yippie? Juchey? Wowza?
For SEAL rugged Pentax K5 series makes more sense than Nikon and Cannon ...Also the bodies are smaller and lighter
It's not FA*24. It's shorter and thicker.

If that's a FA*24/2; I'll eat my shoes.

Fail RH.

(by the way; you seem to have missed the K-50 leeks...)
Rice - where fore at thou? You've been beat to the K-50.
Or the FA 35-80/4-5.6

Or maybe the FA28-105/3.2-4.5AL, which has a silver version.
I thinks its the FA28-80 f3.5-5.6. but the fa28-105 looks pretty much the same. boring.
I'm agree with Jon SMC Pentax-FA 35-80mm F4-5.6
Silver zoom, Small black drive screw with aperture rings, very small black rubber focus ring, Lens filter smaller than focus ring.
