Pentax MX-1

Speaking for myself: The black version looks much better (just like a black MX looks better than silver).

But you'd think that they would pick up some design cues from Ricoh's GRD... hmmm.

all of you asking for an APS-C sensor realize the price would more than double if they put it in there right? there sure is a lot of judgement going around considering nobody has personally handled the camera yet.

I use Pentax but this one had passed me by until recently.
Reminds me of the Leica X series.

Call me crazy, but I imagine my dream MX-1 now

Add an OVF with variable frame lines and 1" sensor!
They should hire me.

I wonder how long it would take to brass nicely, my black Rollei 35T is only now showing bsigns of brass after many years of use

No possibility of a viewfinder of any sort. What a shame.
