Originally posted by One3rdEV I also applaud Ricoh for allowing Pentax to continue being Pentax. Or in more correct terms, for allowing the Pentax brand to continue building along the traditional strengths that Pentax had previously established. In addition, I applaud Ricoh in their efforts to incorporate Ricoh sourced strengths and especially to advance the synergy of future developments built upon the Pentax foundation!
The RICOH - PENTAX relationship seems to be working out very synergistically indeed, with Pentax being given the space they need to "continue being Pentax" - which is wonderful for all of us who have loved Pentax for what it has always been.

An excellent example of RICOH's approach. Way to go!!
RICOH appear to have no issues with letting Pentax continue being Pentax, they're comfortable with this and not insecure at all.
