Re: Tokina Hoya (was PhotographyBlog: Pentax Interview, quite interesting)
If you go to http://www.hoya.co.jp, Pentax is listed as a subsidiary but not Tokina. Searching the site for Tokina gets zero hits. Wikipedia and a few other sites indicate that Hoya supplies glass to Tokina, but that Tokina is an independent company.

I thought that we had determined that Tokina was an independent company. Wonder if the article is correct on this point?

Re: Tokina Hoya (was PhotographyBlog: Pentax Interview, quite interesting)
In Japan, it is very common for a company to hold another company's stock. That's especially true when one company is a supplier to another company. It seems likely to me that this is true of Hoya and Tokina, though I don't know where a person could go to check on it.
