Re: More news of trouble at Ricoh

I've reconsidered my suggestion that Sony would be the best owner of the Pentax brand. I doubt that they would preserve the name/brand, but merely absorb it. In fact, brands are absorbed and disappear all of the time. It happened to venerable brands like Contax, Konica, Minolta and even YUUGE

Dave, It is the reality of the 21 century: most things are ordered via internet and brought to your home by UPS/FedEx/USPS. In the first year or two after our kid was born, we had UPS people coming to our door at least 4 times a week, - thanks to free 2-day delivery with Amazon Prime (and

My read on the situation is Pentax appears to be one of the few bright spots on Ricoh's balance sheet. Probably won't save Pentax if the parent company founders, but Pentax isn't the cause of their troubles. On 6/19/2017 17:51, Darren Addy wrote:
