But the Dynaxx 7 is regarded as a failure according to the Wall Street Journal. Minolta is loosing millions on it. I believe the SSM lenses are just consolidation to prevent loosing even more customers. > >This will be rather pointless as all the heavy weight camera users will go > >digital.

How many F5's are sold these days? Nikon are worried. The big 8-10fps 35mm slr's are loosing out for digital. If Pentax wanted to make such a beast they should have done it by '96 or '97 at the latest. P�l - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
