Pentax K-1 Mark II J Limited 01 DSLR camera announced in Japan





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.

It is equipped with an original design custom wood grip Note 1 that is carved from North American walnut and has a 9-layer coating . It is a special grip hand-finished by craftsmen with the cooperation of Miroku Techno Wood Co., Ltd., which is a Miroku group with a history of 120 years and also handles wooden handles for luxury cars. Black & Gold has a beautiful hand-blown gradation in Red SP color, Viridian, Scarlet Rouge, and LX75 metallic, each body color is dyed with high-grade ink and finished in black silver that exceeds normal black. Grips are available for each.

Note 1 : Custom wood grip cannot be attached or detached.

2. 2. Dimple rubber grip

Special grip parts with dimple design are used for the exterior on both sides of the main body. In particular, the grip on the left hand side has a shape with improved holding and grip while referring to past models, and the metal “AOCo” Note 2 mark specially made for “J limited 01” is applied. It is fitted.

Note 2 : A mark that means Asahi Optical Corporation at that time, which was engraved on past PENTAX SLR cameras.

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.
