The only problem is that Hoya will strip the components from Pentax that will bolster it's product range and expertise and eliminate major competition in one swoop. The jettisoned Pentax would have to survive on very limited product ranges. None of this should be a surprise to anyone, it's just business. -- 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
