It is not too much information, far from it.
My Mam will be 90 next February and still lives in her own house an it can be unnerving as it stands.
It has curtailed my out an about, for the last number of years and so be it.
I wish you both the best of health.
Fair play to you for being on watch.

An observant person manages all, at sea.

As there is another thread already open on this subject, I will keep it brief.

The K3 monochrome was a genuine brave move by the Pentax engineers
It had all the ingredients to be a winner, which I personally think it is.
Ricoh, dare I say compromised Pentax by not allowing the budget for an articulating rear screen.
That camera like others before also has all of the K mount legacy lenses at its disposal.

Ricoh have thrown Pentax under the bus
A lot of Ricoh users will recognise this in time.

Love all the comments, I think that the Pentax 17 half frame was a disastrous move.
500 smackers for a film point an shoot, they even had Thomas Heaton to promote it on his channel.
Ricoh will move on and Pentax are over is the feeling.
The K mount is at an end
I am happy though that i have a perfectly working K1ii and K70 to see me through an a few lenses to booth.
Won't be selling anytime soon, there's no point, I'm an amateur

Love number 4 Comma, it showcases the qualities.
I have an immaculate copy of this lens also, purchased personally in London 1986.
A stellar optical zoom, way ahead of its time.
Thanks SSF1957

Very happy to hear that you're okay.
I for one always appreciated your helpfulness in my digital salad days.
I was green in judgement but you always made time when asked to explain a few of the subtleties.
Best of luck and the future is bright.

A lot of hard work and loads signed up.
Sadly most that joined never submitted.
I wish the best of luck to wherever both venture.
I will miss CameraUser.
Thanks again, Regards Flan

1799 Euros in Germany is the official price for the GR monochrome so I suppose thats the price across most of Europe.
1500 Euros if one was in japan.
2000 Euros if one is in America (tariffs)
Ans
I still want one
