Well yes, but Konica makes office equipment, medical equipment,
chemicals, God knows what else. Pentax makes optical equipment,
medical, and cameras, and renamed their company after a camera.

Unlike Minolta and Konica, Pentax is primarily a Photography company,
it's not part of a large conglomerate, and it's very identity is based
on a Camera. They may leave the photo market but they'll probably fight
tooth and nail not to. Konica had left the SLR camera market once
already. It was just a business decision for them.
Don't Pentax make more $$ from their medical imaging division than
their photography division? That's just off the top o' my head, but
I'm sure I read that somewhere recently. Time to Google!
