Oh I know people that know photography know about Schneider. But they are
not Samsung's target market.

Kodak has been using Schneider-Kreuznach, or just Schneider lenses on
their top of the line cameras for 50 years. In the US Kodak is still a
top brand in many consumers eyes, maybe that's the connection.

Hi John.
Not to be contentious, but... what *is* Schneider supplying, ....?
Apparently, just a name.
What's strange is that even if many potential camera-buyers nowadays
are more likely to have heard of Samsung than Pentax, it's extremely
unlikely that they will ever have heard of Schneider-Kreuznach. So
what's going on? Did some bright S-K man convince the Koreans that
S-K is a household name in Europe and the Americas?
If so, it ranks with scams like selling London Bridge to an Arizonan
who thought he was buying Tower Bridge.
