Re: Why Pentax Cannot Supply Lenses
Perhaps Pentax are changing their assembly line to make all lenses more suitable for digital - extra multicoating on the rear element to reduce reflections for example? Nick
Re: Why Pentax Cannot Supply Lenses
"Yikes! Joe, are you pulling the collective leg, or are you serious?" Of course I'm pulling the collective leg. OTOH, it is the best speculation I can come up with to explain why this company, which is known for its lenses, cannot manage to ship any (while simultaneously offering rebates on same). I don't know whether Pentax now does all lens assembly at the plant in Vietnam. It does appear, though, that they are in a manufacturing transition, which has involved not only relocation to a new country but cutbacks in capacity. Joe
Re: Why Pentax Cannot Supply Lenses
You know what? They took our advice and tightened the QC. And now none of their lenses was able to leave the factory. :-) Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan Yikes! Joe, are you pulling the collective leg, or are you serious? I'd be amazed that the lens assembly would bottleneck at one person, but I have heard more outrageous tales. It's obviously not a very robust manufacturing approach. _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

I heard through the grapevine that the lens assembler in Vietnam has been ill. Joe
