You forgot to blame the spellchecker for not understanding context.

Well when I got my first Spotmatic in 1968 it was called Honeywell Pentax.

Anyway, the DSLRs and such are still going to be called Pentax and the
grand majority of consumers will still never hear of them unless they
start advertising.

Seem like a big non-issue too me.

I'm in complete agreement, John.

I would note though that their dry and brief press release served to
create alarm and speculation. They'd have done better to include some
context like that Imaging Resource article that Alan pointed out. Now
they've managed to fan the Sky Is Falling thread flames for years to
come.

Yet I still managed to do two back-to-back shoots with my ancient K20
and it didn't fall to pieces or simply go dark on me. :-)

For many years the company name was Asahi Optical, and the brand was Pentax
and all was right with the world.  To go forward with the company name of
Ricoh and the brand Pentax and now it is the end of the world.  I'm not sure
that the name change is a bad thing or a good thing, it just is.  What
matters is that the cameras still provide us with the images we love.

Subject: Pentax is history

How's that for a provocative subject line? :-)

No more Pentax, now just Ricoh in the company name:
