| From one old show observer to another
Steve,
Thank you very much for your report. As one old show dog to another I appreciate how hard it is to make contact with everybody and glean little jewels from as many sources as possible so that an accurate picture can be seen. Many of the things you comment have been reported from various source I have read on the internet so it seems to me you have done a masterful job of corroborating these sources.
The fact that Hoya would like to be perceived as the optimum benchmark for Japaness takeovers is, IMO, the most important news we have heard. I was not aware that Sanyo makes the Nikon and Pentax digicam sensors. It would seem reasonable to assume they are also making some of the Nikon DSLR sensors, possibly the D2X sensor. If that is the case I am sure Sanyo would be more than happy to modify it for Pentax.
It all sounds very positive. Now where is that small travel body that will use all my old glass? No, I won't hold my breath waiting for it.
Thanks,
Ken |
