Random ramblings follow: The question in all of this is, does Pentax, Hoya, whoever they are, really want to compete in the marketplace or are they content with being a 2nd tier semi-pro niche brand? Quite frankly I don't care, because I've concluded Pentax will most likely be a day late and a dollar short for the forseeable future. And despite the cost I'm enamored with the idea of a Nikon D3x.
I quite frankly thought Apple was dead in the water in the mid-to-late '90's but vision, innovation and capital turned it around. As an IT person in the business world, and very infrequent Mac user, I have no desire for a Mac. I don't see that they are inherently better than a Windows based PC, anymore than a Stanley hammer is better than a Craftsman hammer. I have no desire to learn the ins and outs of a different platform, and I find it ironic that people I know with Macs are often running in the Windows emulation mode. I'm not saying anything bad about Macs, I just don't buy the hype. Tom C.
