yeah and now they're moving service and manufacturing quality down and lens prices to meaningless levels - some prices down 20% others up 136% and actually making their products an unjustifiable luxury... I for one will give them another year to see if this is a transitionary hiccup into somrthing better or a new owner imposed operation crapola of some sort... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
