Brand Details
Type: Brand
Description: Pentax is a brand currently owned by Ricoh Imaging, a subsidiary of Ricoh. Historically, Pentax was a significant Japanese manufacturer of cameras and optical equipment, known for its single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. While it still produces cameras, primarily DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex cameras), its current market share is smaller than some competitors. The brand is appreciated by a loyal following who value its rugged, weather-sealed cameras and distinctive lens rendering. Pentax also produces other optical instruments, including binoculars. The brand's online presence is handled through Ricoh Imaging's various regional sites.
