And the fact that they have kept Tokina despite a low market share (at least in Norway). To Tokina this may be good, as they now may get the advantages of a kamera system that secures some lens sales. I think they will combine Tokina and Pentax, and keep both brands. Tokina for selling lenses to Nikon and Canon, and Pentax for selling K-mount lenses and cameras. DagT -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
