Vintage Pentax Television Ads
I really, really love these old Pentax ads from Japan between 30 and 40 years ago. The first is an animated Moomin-type character who goes about chirping "Pentax, Pentax, Pentax." I'm really going to try to adopt him as the mascot for OK1000 Pentax Blog. 
Seriously. Before the ad ends, you see an animated woman traveling on a camel. The second one, much longer because it's a few spots all together, has an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic helping this same young woman (no longer a drawing) capture snapshots of her trip around Japan. The Pentax Moomin character shows up as a print again on her travel bag. I wish they would remake that girl's ad campaign today with the K100D Super, shot by shot, because it's pretty fascinating (albeit very revealing). If you know of any more out there that are on the web, please don't hesitate to tell us all about them!
