Originally posted by Rondec Truthfully, one of the biggest things I hope for is an elimination of the thick shroud of secrecy that has been maintained around Pentax's vision since Hoya took over.
Vision? There was no Pentax "vision" because Hoya had no vision for the brand, other than to keep it afloat long enough to sell off anyway. I guess in that they succeeded. Oh well.
Here's hoping that Ricoh realizes that they've bought much more than a simple camera company. They've bought generations of strangely stubborn loyal customers.
Please don't let us down Ricoh!
