The Digital Pentax I Wish Ricoh Would Build: My Concept
The Digital Pentax I Wish Ricoh Would Build: My Concept
Ricoh recently announced that they are discontinuing all current K mount DSLRs and heading into a new direction with design. We'll see if they come through on that promise. Meanwhile, I have had a concept of what Ricoh should build in my head for at least couple of years now. A fully manual focus, digital SLR concept camera that would be a sort of Leica M equivalent with an SLR design instead. I have been asking/proposing/noting this on my blog for quite some time now, on Pentaxforums.com, DPReview.com, and other places in the forums hoping for that needle in a haystack chance that Ricoh would listen to my design concept. When they later announced they are discontinuing production on all K mount DSLR's, and going to do a completely new concept, my ears perked up. Recently I decided to get on my chatgpt account and make a visual concept of what I have in my head.
