PENTAX has been making interesting gear since 1919. In the 1950s, we launched our first SLR camera, the Asahiflex I, and we haven't stopped since. From the Asahi PENTAX single-lens reflex camera to the Spotmatic and to our most recent K-5 and incredibly tiny Q, we've empowered and inspired photographers around the world.
