I wish Pentax had done something like this

I wish Pentax had done something like Olympus E-400/420
Coz pairing it up with this grip and the da Limited lenses - I think it will look sweet.

People buy Oly 400/420 because they are small and compact. If adding something extra like the one shown in above link, it's against the reason of buying the cameras. Why not just buy a bigger camera w/ deeper grip in the first place?

Actually our K-m has quite deep grip already, while it's still very small and compact. And best of all, we still have SR built-in

JMHO ...

Kinda reminds me of Winder grips on older film SLRs.

I think a better idea for Pentax would have been to package the DA pancake(white!?) with the K-m.
Now that'd be...er...cute

some of us already had the DA pancakes ... and to re-invest in white ones in these times ... eh

Anyways, take a good look at the K-M, it's really good.

I was at Chinatown last weekend and this lady was using the Olympus 420 with it's white CS-8B leather body case. It really catches my attention and took a second look at her camera. I think the white colour K-m will make people take a second look.

Well, it just sort of remind me of the LX with the wooden grip thats all.

Anyway the grip isn't that big......and it doesn't add that much bulk on the camera not like the Dicain one anyway.


Don't mind me, I'm being nostlagic. Anyway I do have KM......the "original" one hor....
