Ha, ha, they must have mixed up the colored rubber compound for the grips by accident and wa la! another limited edition
Looks unique though!

Must have been caused by the Earthquake as they were mixing the paint!
But the colours do look very unique.

 

[genecor]

Dang, those Camo grips do look kinda cool..

 

[TheFuhrer]

Looks like paddle pop ice cream. HAHA.

After seen thee, I feel my silver K5 isn't very attractive anymore...

 

[ricsal]

The Red Raspberry look so yummy!

The Marble black/white is so cool. Reminds me of F-16 Artic Flanker Aggressor!
Wish they can do it for my K-5

 

[Nanoo]

These camouflaged design will be ideal for bird shooting....:thumbsup:
Now the only thing is to come out with DA* 300mm in camouflage too.

 

[airconvent]

The grips can be retro-fitted to existing cameras complete with the matching stick-ons in Japan! So those going to Japan can have this option.

Ha.. ha... useful for them to take photo when ppl borrow money from them


The camo ones really look nice for me. Much better than the special edition ones imo
