Re: Will Ricoh sell *Pentax* cameras after 2020?
it is of course DPReview, they have a long history of Canikon bias, no one except the big two made digital cameras that they had to care about, for about 10 years. It would simplify their jobs, possibly into non existence, though I doubt they realize that, if there were only one or two camera manufactures.

That may be reading too much into it. However, I have noticed that the demand for the K-3 and K-3II, is unabated. One appeared on KEH.com just a few days ago. I thought seriously about buying it, and by the time I decided to pull the trigger, it was gone. Less than an hour. They are not easy to find on the used market, from reputable sources, and the NIB cameras seem to sell for more than original list. There's a thirst for a Pentax K mount, APS-C, camera at a level somewhere between the D7xxx and the D500, Ricoh is failing to meet, and they know it because they keep promising. Pentax is known for smaller and lighter DSLR cameras, the battery grip is antithetical to that Idea. Useful yes, but better to have a high capacity battery than having to add a grip. True the K-1 is a biggish camera to begin with, but add the grip and it becomes more of Studio rig, and everyone knows Pentax doesn't make professional equipment. just ask DPReview. I would expect if Ricoh has a camera they want to get to market, the K-3 III is a more likely candidate than the K-1 III.

Alex: Every rumor has a rumor part in it. :-) And some rumors are just rumors. P.J. The original rumor was not from DPReview. Rather, it was from Pentaxrumors.com , with a reference to a post in Pentax Forums. While looking posts referenced by the "rumor", I've found these interesting photos of a Pentax camera made in 1954 by Zeiss (VEB Zeiss Ikon): https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/16-pentax-news-rumors/381897-ricoh-booth-cp-16.html#post4587977 Cheers, Igor P.

Re: GESO (5): Madrid Cathedral
Thanks for looking and commenting, Alan. The three Spanish cathedrals we visited (Madrid, Toledo, and Cordoba) had a much more closed-in feeling than the (many!) French, German, and British ones we’ve visited. There is a lot of heavy ornamentation, and in one of them (can’t recall at the moment whether Cordoba or Grenada) the choir completely separated the chancel from the nave.

Re: Will Ricoh sell *Pentax* cameras after 2020?
According to Ricoh, Hoya owns the Pentax Trademark, but when Ricoh bought the Pentax camera business from Hoya, they received an unrestricted license to use the Pentax name in the camera business.
