It was just a week ago when the word about a new “slide-in” design broke out and only a month ago I reported about the upcoming mirrorless Ricoh. Today it’s all […]

Rumor: Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount

By PR admin | Published: September 2, 2009

Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount. It’s not clear if they would use the exact K mount or the M 4/3 approach by keeping the mount diameter in-tact and reducing the distance so that older K mount lenses still can be used via an adapter and a new series of new […]
