Norm, wouldn't PENTAX have a larger SLR/pro presence if they actively and
aggressively tended to the market you alluded to?
And to beg the question, what "distributorship channels?" Until my five
(understandably delicious) visits to B&H in December during Ramadan, I'd not
seen many modern PENTAX SLR bodies in any one shop ever.
*The PENTAX "presence" which you alluded to simply doesn't exist in many
towns in America smaller than 100,000 population, (if we exempt pawn shops).
I'd like to think the PDML represented that "presence," but our near
parochial interest in things old does not (did not) translate into "presence"
with PENTAX itself.
Listen to us? Emphatically "Yes."
Consider *our* wants and long expressed needs viv a vis their international
marketing strategy? Nope!
But I must be the first to say PENTAX has created an instant "niche" camera
with the MZ-S, especially with that booster/vertical release. The MZ-S won't
please all on the PDML but it'll come close.
FMI: Want to hazzard a guess on the opening "street price" of the MZ-S?
