This was ordered from Japan and was originally estimated to be delivered on 1/2/2024. It arrived yesterday 12/29!
Kudos to DHL for the early delivery.
First Impression:
This is solid and feels premium. The brass plates are awesome. The rubber grip is very nice as well.
The menus are classic Pentax and easy to navigate.
I like the control wheel and exposure comp dials, they feel really good.
Definitely a āpremium compactā for its time and even now!
Power on time is rather quick. Was pleasantly surprised.
Got the JJC auto open lens cap, works excellent.
The power zoom, even though not one of my favorite things, is surprisingly quick.
Will report back later on how it did during the first outing. Not sure about battery life, I only have one right now with 2 more on the way.
