I don't think Hoya is into selling. However Big Conglomerates are into
shutting down little divisions. The little divisions don't even have to
be losing money. They just have to be making not enough money. With
proper planning Kodak's film division could become a nice profitable
niche company. When it gets small enough Kodak will either sell it, if
they can, or kill it. Maybe Japanese companies are different, then
again you can ask Kyocera how their Contax/Yashica division is doing
lately or Konica/Minolta how they're doing making those really super
Alpha 900 cameras.

If ther's anything to be read between the lines is that Hoya isn't
into selling, they are actually into buying, which is excellent news.

"Our digital camera business is not exactly a big operation. There are
naturally questions among us whether it is big enough to go it alone,"
Hoya Chief Executive Hiroshi Suzuki told Reuters in an interview on
Tuesday.
"I'm afraid it will need some sort of alliance with another company in
the long term."
This does not sound too promising. Any guesses on which company
would make an alliance with Pentax. It seems Samsung has gotten
everything they wanted and have moved on to with their own plans.
Who does this leave?
