Hey, but I bet that doesn't stop them from dreaming... Sigma headquarters... CEO speaking..

"I see a day sometime soon after the release of the Quattro V generation Foveon sensors when the world finally realizes the absolute superiority of our sigma lenses and Foveon sensors. At that time when we have achieved 97.8 % market share, we will finally be able to end our dependence on selling lenses to our competitors, weening them from the teat so to speak, ( CEOs always speak like that) forcing them to realize that they were stealing away our business, not the other way around....... pause (falls into silent reverie)"

"Boss, boss, wake up, you're dreaming...."

" oh yes, sorry, now where were we? How are those Pentax customers feeling about their loss of our lenses lately? Are they beginning to see the Sigma light, have they realized it was Sigma lenses they liked, not Pentax cameras? This test is important to the development of our future strategies....."
