Random Generated Pentax Stuff
Hi all An interesting couple of pieces of random generated stuff. Pentax sold 44% of all the SLRs sold in Australia last year. They also sold 48% of the PS cameras sold here. Where things get interesting is that I got told that within three years Pentax expect to be selling many more digital cameras than film based ones, and they won't be HP/ Pentax hybrids. I find it strange that they haven't released the digital MZ-S, or a Pentax digital PS developed by themselves yet, and this sort of stuff is out there, but there you go. I got shown a print from a Hasleblad whatever with the digital back on Saturday. The print was about a metre x a metre, printed on a insert memory blank here. At $70,000 AUD for the setup you'd expect it to be decent. It was as good as any I've seen from a film based camera. I gather the CCD in the Hasleblad digital back is 36mm x 36mm (from memory). I think it is getting close to the time to think of selling my MZ-3 and Z-1p.. Cheers Jon Relax!

Hi Jon and all, I also understand that Pentax would be investing more resources in the digital arena and medical optics etc according to their mid to long range plan recently indicated on their web site.

I also found the accessories for the MZ-S at http://www.pentax.co.jp/japan/news/2001/200119.html Which are interesting, and would be more so if I could read Japanese. :-) Cheers Jon Relax!
