And yet here you are, becoming a "doom sayer." I seriously doubt Pentax is going away. It'll just be part of a larger company now, like Mercury is a part of Ford. Pentax will continue to make cameras as they always have, only now they have help from their new in-house partners, all of whom deal with camera-related equipment already. Hoya owns and maintains a lot of brands, and there's no reason to think they'd let a venerable brand like Pentax wither away just for kicks & grins.
