Hi Pål - That's more gloomy than I expected, but you may be right. Given the ratio of investment to sales revenue for Digital SLR's, it may be that Hoya just wants to get into the more lucrative aspects of Pentax's business. Who wants to compete with Canon in the SLR market anyhow? the K10D may just be the swan-song of Pentax management - one last flash before they are gone. - MCC > > > -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
