visiting the Orioles of Baltimore. Very exciting game and the Orioles

During the highlights of a Mets game the other night, I saw two huge
"Pentax" on the changing ad board behind home plate. I've seen them
while watching other games as well. It seems Pentax has committed at
least some money to this.

Just saw a short ad for Pentax Optio cameras on the History channel. I'd
heard they were going to start advertising, but this is the first I've seen.
It seems to me that there are changes in the works for Pentax, started about
the time they changed the company name from Asahi to Pentax.
