Special interest groups who wish to get someone's attention will sometimes buy an ad in a prestigious publication. A full-page ad in Japan's most prestigious photo magazine would probably get the attention of Pentax. I would guess it would cost about $5000, although it might be quite a bit more. But if it were only 5K, 100 people could pull it off for $50 each. Tough to organize, but probably quite effective. Paul
