Re: More news of trouble at Ricoh
I've reconsidered my suggestion that Sony would be the best owner of the Pentax brand. I doubt that they would preserve the name/brand, but merely absorb it. In fact, brands are absorbed and disappear all of the time. It happened to venerable brands like Contax, Konica, Minolta and even YUUGE brands like Kodak. It would be sad, but the world would keep turning. My K-3II is still going to be a great machine and the K-1 is still going to be a killer full frame camera. One just wonders how long their actual lifespans will be, or how long their practical lifespans will be (when we merely sniff derisively at at quaint 24-36 MP image files).

Re: More news of trouble at Ricoh
Dave, It is the reality of the 21 century: most things are ordered via internet and brought to your home by UPS/FedEx/USPS. In the first year or two after our kid was born, we had UPS people coming to our door at least 4 times a week, - thanks to free 2-day delivery with Amazon Prime (and the cheapest diapers with "Amazon Family" and subscription). Re: "most lenses are final sales only". You can return lenses with several reliable on-line Pentax authorized distributors. Say, on Amazon, IF the seller is Amazon (or the order is "fulfilled by Amazon", in which case the return rules are those of Amazon), -- you can buy lenses, and if you are not satisfied with them within 30 days, you can return them. You'd pay the return shipping. A similar picture is applicable to Walmart.com (only if the items are sold by Walmart). And I also believe, these days, B&H allows returns. IIRC, so does Adorama.

But the bikes are also both pre-1987, as are their components - including, I suspect, the brake blocks. Chris's jersey is vintage (mine are faux vintage). Chris's MX is pre-1979 I believe; my Leica M3 is 1959, the 50mm lens is 1968. Our charming companion, not seen in the video, is of course still only 21, as she has been for many years and will remain for many, many more. And of course, the limestone rocks are in the order of 260 million years old.

I hope so but they are not making it very easy in my neck of the woods to get product.
