So ... are you proposing that because you perceive Olympus' profitability to be stronger than Pentax', we should abandon and dump our Pentax gear and buy Olympus gear? Not that it would bother me ... the latest generation of Olympus/Panasonic/Leica DSLR bodies are quite good performers and the Olympus Zuiko and Leica lenses being produced for the 4/3 System lens mount are excellent. You can also use Nikon, Canon, Pentax and other lenses on them with available adapters. What I really can't believe is 200+ messages in this and the associated business thread started by Tom C in less than two days. When do y'all have time to think about any photography? or have lunch for that matter? ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
