It´s the same Pentax allright - but Pentax do not make their own glass.
In Japan only Nikon and Minolta seem to make glass.
Pentax have been making spectacle lenses for quite a long time, though.

All the best!

Hi Raimo,

on 01 Apr 04 you wrote in pentax.list:

Pentax does not do glass.

I've heard (but can't confirm) that Pentax makes certain kinds of glass
that is sold under the label of Zeiss and Hoya.

Cheers, Heiko

On 31/3/04, DEM BONES DEM BONES DEM EAR BONES discumbobulated:

incidentally, Pentax yesterday bought the Artificial Bone manufacturing
division from one of the Mitsubishi companies.
 
 
 I've got artificial hearing bones in one ear (and none in the other). Next
 time I see my consultant I shall have to ask him if they're Pentax.
 
You should be able to tell from the quality of the sound.  Not as sharp 
as Canon bones but beautiful background 8-)

m

Can't be Pentax bones, they're not released yet.



Cheers,
  Cotty
