I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Minolta sells more SLR's than
Pentax. Of course, Minolta does advertize.

Hey, Dave,
You obviously missed my point. I wanted you to offer them to ~me~ before the
list!
I'm thinking Viv 19mm, SMC 1.4 50mm, and the LX body...

Hi, Pal,
The Yashica Electro 35 had an aperture priority electronic shutter. When did they
come out, around
1968? Maybe earlier. I'm quite certain that they preceded the ES. Of course, they
were rangefinders,
so the ES would be the first aperture priority SLR with an electronic shutter, AFA

I think my point was that hardly anyone wanted AE in the 60's. Particularly not in
that form..

But Minolta had huge sucess with their 7000 in spite of being a Minolta.

You know, I think the 50 ft F5 of cheese has the makings of acrhetype,

Aside from Minolta users, no one cared, because it was a Minolta. The same thing would
be true for a "flagship" Pentax. Pentax will never recover the R&D costs, let alone
make a profit, on a hot snot film SLR. The whole film SLR market is shrinking due to
digital. It will go from single digit t

I'm talking production numbers. Not exclusively AF lenses. I find the idea of a
digital slr that take 70's or 80's lenses, in addition to current ones, to be a sound

Why not wait until Photokina and see whats being showed?
The web page you mention has never been a preview for whats being shown. Pentax won't
disclose anything until they release

Actually, Canon does make money selling cameras:

cameras are cited as continuing to decrease due to market tilt toward digital cameras

Poppycock. There's nothing on that list that tells me that a DSLR will
not be shown.
