You got that right. I used to work in the banking industry and was party to over 3 dozen 'mergers.' Or, as the Borg would say, assimilations... Fortunately I was on the assimilating side. When tide turned and we were 'merged' into another company, I jumped ship. You never know how it plays out, but the key thing is that the values and design protocols of the acquired company go away. The question now is - what kind of camera manufacturer will Hoya be? Let's hope they are a good one. - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
