It's not just Leica that has seen the benefits of offerring limited edition versions, now Pentax is doing the same. However it appears the pricing is far more reasonable; the black K-5 body has a RRP of £1199.99 while the new chrome (silver) limited edition version is selling for just £100 more. Unfortunately there are just 50 units allocated to the UK.
Press release
Pentax has announced that its multi-award winning K-5 is now available in a beautiful new silver colour.
This limited version (only 50 units are available in the UK) has had a complete face lift and features a new finish, thumb wheels, buttons and packaging. In addition, the back LCD and top screen of the Silver K-5 have been reinforced to provide additional durability. The camera also benefits from a redesigned handle, making it more comfortable to use.
The Silver K-5 is also equipped with the latest firmware update, ensuring it offers the latest in technology.

• smc DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited Silver
