Couldn't Tokina make lenses for Pentax, even if the Hoya merger is off? It's not religion - just business! Regards Jens Bladt

I feel myself as very enthusiastic pentaxian, but I really do not need 645D for happy living. Actually, I'm much more worried about DA* lens line - it's co-designed with Tokina and most probably should be at least halfly manufactured by them. Tokina is a part of Hoya group that was just kicked off the door...who will make new lenses for my K10D now?
