Of course it doesn't bother me personally that it's cheaper than expected, I could buy more than one without a problem but I can't see it being the best marketing move, but as you say time will tell. I'm still very confused as to what Samsung will bring to the party, I've done a lot of reading up on what they do and why and there doesn't seem to be any focus on high end imaging either now or in the future. And given that the Samsung branded lenses are being produced in Pentax factories and I assume to this point so are the Pentax bodies I'm yet to understand where they come into it. Pentax facilities have been upgraded recently, this was visible in their financial reports and press releases but I wonder what percentage increase in production capability they have built in. I know these questions are likely not easily answered but I can't help thinking, it's just what I do. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
