Indeed, you'd think having spent however many millions or billions to acquire the brand, they'd at least try to make a go of it. I know they were primarily interested in Pentax's endoscopy line, but a profit is a profit, and Pentax's camera brand did produce a profit, even if not a particularly large one. Seems a shame to fritter away something you've paid good money for. > > John Sessoms wrote: >> > From: "P. J.
