Re: And then then came minolta

[Alan Kerr]

Pentx is my latest acquisition, I think the Minolta folk are the ones 
who think I'm a traitor :-). There are quite a few on the Minolta group 
who own both Minolta and Pentax and usually they are quick to defend 
Pentax when the need arises.

They can call it whatever they like as long as it fits my Maxxum

Yes it does.  Yes it will.  Does anyone find it ironic that Konica
left the SLR
market years ago and bought Minolta, who always had a better
reputation and larger
customer base to get back in.

Anything is possible, but the question is, "Will Pentax do it in the
near future?" The same question has been asked countless times over
the years and the answer is always "no". Btw, does anyone think the
name "konica minolta" looks stupid? Are they really going to make it
the final product?  :-o

With in body anti-shake (to get back on topic, this will show Pentax
that it is possible - and that perhaps they do not need to look at IS
lenses anymore)...
