Ricoh announced the previously leaked Pentax K-1 Mark II J Limited 01 DSLR camera for the Japanese market (the previous J Limited version was also only available in Japan).
Here is the translated press release:
New release of “J limited 01”
A custom model based on the “PENTAX K-1 Mark II” with carefully selected parts and paint
Ricoh Co., Ltd. (President: Yoshinori Yamashita) and Ricoh Imaging Co., Ltd. (President: Shinobu Takahashi) have applied special colors and custom parts to the K series high-end digital single-lens reflex camera “PENTAX K-1 Mark II.” We will release a special model “J limited 01” equipped with the above on a made-to-order basis.
This product was developed based on the “PENTAX K-1 Mark II” (released in April 2018), which is the highest-end model of the K series 35mm full-size digital SLR camera. In order to deepen the attachment to the camera, which is a personal tool, we have performed high-quality, labor-intensive processing, special color painting, parts change, etc., which are impossible in mass production, and each one is made to order. It is a special model that has been commercialized as a factory custom model that is carefully assembled and delivered.
[About J limited] The
J limited project has various sympathies with the concept of “If there are users who enthusiastically support and love even 1%, let’s make it for those people.” With the cooperation of various companies and individuals, we started with a group of members who will never forget their playfulness. For users who have the same “temperature” as the members and who “do not have to be the same as everyone, but have a strong commitment to their own tools”, special parts and processing that can only be done by the manufacturer It is a factory custom brand. In July 2019, we launched “PENTAX KP J limited” as our first attempt, and as a result of the great response, we decided to develop it as a formal brand, and this time “J limited 01” was released.

3. 3. Body mount with Duratect gold coating
For the surface processing of the mount part, Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.’s surface hardening technology “Duratect” uses Duratect Gold coating, which uses ionized titanium and gold to improve beauty and surface hardness. The fearless brilliance of elegant yellow gold using precious metal gold creates a high-quality feel that is completely different from ordinary mounts.
4. W top cover
A removable top cover Note 3 that gives an impression different from the standard specifications when attached to the pentaprism section . The design, which is particular about the combination of faces, changes its expression greatly depending on how the light hits it, creating a unique presence. A brass “top cover A” can be layered on top of the resin “top cover B” to create a W top cover structure that allows the appearance to be changed according to the lens to be worn and the style of the day. The top cover is a type that is fixed with a special hot shoe cover carved from a metal (stainless steel alloy) block, and can be easily attached and detached.
Note 3 : When the top cover is attached, some accessories that are attached to the hot shoe cannot be used. Also, when “Top Cover A” is attached, it may interfere when using some lenses.
