whos going for it

so who is going for the limited edition k1 then

Errrrr nope. Far too much money no doubt. Standard is too much IMO

Nope...Not me either... Seems a strange route to take..Or maybe its just me...

Haven't got an ordinary edition

Another one who won't be buying any K-1 (tried it at TPS 2016, and it was too heavy - cost apart).

Do you mean the Limited Edition SEAT Cupra K1 ?
Err, no!

Just seen the email from SRS (for example only ) that the price with grip is £2149 - someone REALLY JUST HAS TO BE JOKING

If silver was standard and black the limited edition, then I surely would lust after one, and I suspect black would be more sought after than the spray paint 'silver' version. It's just not my cup of tea.

The last really nice silver model was, of course, the Marc Newson K-01.

Others may disagree.

The black Pentax camera bodies look better to me, but I don't intend to get one anyway - limitations and failings in my photography are down to the lump behind the camera rather than my Pentax APS-C gear. Also, for me, the K-1 + grip is too big, too heavy, and too costly, especially with the new lenses (except perhaps the 28-105). However, I feel pretty sure it will have many fans, and I hope it will be a success worldwide.

Does this special edition imply a K-1 replacement announcement is imminent?

they seem to do it with all the top off the ranges silver k5 silver k3 silver k1 so suspect the k1 ii is on the way

You can pre-order at SRS now £2149.99
K1 Limited

If i didn't already have one I might be tempted, but you would need some nice silver lenses to match. Curious it's not appeared in the News section here.

Expensive...yes
But the Nikon D850 is £3500!!

The news has only just hit, but £2149 isn't expensive compared to the standard edition. I don't see the K-1 as expensive either, it's still at its intro price and compares well with the prices of other marques.
