I've been hearing rumors like this for a couple of years now. About a year ago when I went to the primary Pentax pusher in this area, Milford Camera, I was told that Pentax was replacing all their sales reps., the implication being that Pentax was in more trouble than usual. It didn't seem to happen then. I don't think I'll worry about it happening now, until it is widely reported, which hasn't happened at this point.
