Matt black with built in red filter at the touch of a button, plus more
A revised version of the K3 monochrome sensor.
More expensive than the colour GR IV but that was to be expected.
I would dearly love one so send money to my link below

My honest opinion.
The judging should be carried out by admin.
A first place selection chosen, alongside with the runners up.
Comments for the first three only.
Everybody else's non placing efforts will receive no comments. ( sorry you will just have to make a better fist of it next time)
I think this could help in boosting numbers as the winner needs not to worry about the hassle of judging an writing comments on a Monday an pressing the wrong key, loosing all of ones effort in the process ( happened to myself also, twice )
So to wrap up, three comments is all thats require , whether by admin or the previous winner, my personal view is for admin.

"I'm sorry Dave, Im afraid I cant do that"
"What is the problem"
"I think you know what the problem is, just as well as I do"
"What are you talking about Hal" ?
"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardise it"
"I don't know what your talking about Hal"
1968 Kubrick masterpiece.
I think a rough few years lay ahead for the adjustment and then a return to reality, that will be the Soul returning to where it should be.
Keep all you're old photos though, just in case

I thought maybe six months ago or more, of it being brought to the fore by Pentax with hints, but it is over as far I can see, hence no new FF lens development also.
The wonderful superb dinosaur will be extinct, sooner than one realises when the final few run out.
The K3 iii (monochrome) is their final Swan song as far as DSLR development is concerned by Pentax.
Youngsters have different appetites and the penny has dropped.
Ricoh however will continue with their GR compact camera enhancements and maybe interchangeable lens mirrorless versions for the future.
The K (PKA) mount is doomed to the annals of history.
Sorry for the gloom SSF1957

I think he's shot, will be a miss "direction"
more miscue from behind.
