So could Samsung be a player in this? They're certainly strong enough in electronics (biggest RAM manufacturer on Earth last time I saw the numbers, lots of other chip-level products including complex ones like Alpha processors) and they have an interest; many (all?) of their cameras are re-badged Pentax designs. Having Hoya wipe out that division, if that is their plan, might really hurt Samsung. Would Samsung buy it instead? I think Samsung are big enough to buy the Pentax camera division out of petty cash, or to buy all of Hoya if they really wanted to. -- Sandy Harris Quanzhou, Fujian, China -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
