K5 Silver to be avail by Mar 2011

[ayuready]

Don't think so.
The Silver K7 does not have serial number from 0001 to 1000.
So, we never know if there are more than 1000 pcs Silver K7 released.
Unlike watches, the serial number is engraved on the back.

Hi Bro,

are you able to share abit more about the price premium of your k-7 then vs the normal black k-7 when the sivler k-7 was launched?

I am sure this will give us an indicative price to work on our budget hehe:devil:

Can only say it cost more than the K7 black by a couple of hundreds.

Bro Pentriot,

Thanks for the link!

Didnt know the lens are release in limited qty too. Only thought the camera is limited to 1500 pieces.

the lens collectively will be 1500 units which means 500 per lens.

wow do not think the chances is high for many of us to get it:sweatsm:

 

[rocaway]

Limited lenses will naturally be limited

 

[ayuready]

Thought for black limited, pretty unlimited ? Lol

I'm eating one meal a day until I lay my hands on a K-5 silver

No need lah. Just wait patiently at Fengwei's house, down a few beers while waiting and it will appear :bsmilie:

So it's about $150sgd more than the normal black K5 ;p

Not $150 more than black K5 if compared with Singapore price.

2,162.47 SGD ~ Black K5 $1700.

I'm feeling the itch too....but hmm price difference between black and silver can mean a nice prime lens. More so if can snag a good used black k-5 on BnS.
Decisions decisions.....

 

[ayuready]

if only 150 bucks not too big a difference.

If almost 400 then abit hard to justify =p
