Its from an article in one of the major japanese photo masgazines under the title
"Where is Pentax heading?" (or something like that). I haven't read it myself but
gotten it refered from a friend. I believe that this should be seen in he context of
the recently announced restructure program where Pentax emphasize "we will give the
customers what they want (an LX obviously)", move upmarket, and boosting brand
recognition. All this fits in with a new LX, Limited lenses or even the MZ-S. It was
also said that Pentax won't make upscale P&S because "theres no legends to be had in
that". Pentax wants to make another legendary camera; a camera the owmers would like
to take with them to their graves. Interestingly, Pentax said at Photokina '96 that
were working on a sturdy, professional camera closer to the LX than the Z-1p. This
might be it.
Anyway, its's the 50th anniversary of the Asahiflex next year. Whats the roman number
for 50?
