Re: [pdml] Discontinuement of Film SLR bodies

Actually, there has been stuff here on the list off and on about this. 
Apparently in certain countries the distributors have decided to no longer carry 
some or all of Pentax's film slr's. As far as I know that has not happened in 
any country where Pentax owns the distributorship. However, I have no recent (4 
months) infomation about this issue (Quite frankly I don't seem to have the 
energy to keep up with things these days).

rumour on the list but I had seen diddly - apparently though, it appears its
not just one person up here in Canada who has heard this but also your local
camera shop owner down in the states.
Just my 2 cents (which is not worth 2 cents really.. more like.. 0.5 cents)
:)

Subject: [pdml] Discontinuement of Film SLR bodies
I was down at the local camera shop the other day and the owner told me
that Pentax was planning on discontinuing all of their film based
SLR's.  She said the information came not from her sales rep but from
another shop owner who is apparently more "plugged in" to what's going
on.  Anyone else heard about this?
I'm new to the list, but I did check the archives and couldn't find
anything.
