    aperture ring)

  • Andrey

    The design is cool.

  • Oleg

    And what are the differences, in the green ring?)
    And the inscriptions hd?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      design, hd, price

    • Dmitry Kostin

      It looks like it's in the picture.
      Above is a link to the test from the Japanese. It's in Japanese, but Chrome tolerably translates it into English (when translating into Russian, it often turns out to be abracadabra).

      • Arkady Shapoval

        well, what kind of drawing is there, exactly like the old people

  • Jea reth

    I re-read the title of the topic five times - the word “Announcement” was embarrassing
    Does Japan have its own analogue of the first of April? Or is it on serious cabbage soup - the announcement in 2023 of a screwdriver mirror optics with an aperture ring and a 7/6 scheme without aspherics ?!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      yes, Pentax has only a path, but no goal
      You should also be confused by announcements Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome just in April 2023
      and a cropped DSLR with capabilities for 2012 - Pentax KF

    • Dmitry Kostin

      It seems to be positioned as a “nostalgic” lens.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        no, nostalgic design is positioned for his twin brother

        • Dmitry Kostin

          exactly
