I don't see this as a very intelligent move by
Pentax. I'm afraid they'll marginalise themselves even further.
I'm afraid they've already been marginalized so much that this is a
*desperation* move.
They were already going downhill BEFORE Hoya effed them over.

This might work in some markets but not in others. Germany still has
decent brick-and-mortar photo stores in all bigger cities, offering good
service, advice and the possibility to touch and try things in the
store. Prices there are not or only marginally higher than online.
While dealers like Foto Gregor in Cologne or AC-Foto in Aachen still
offer all other brands, I don't see this as a very intelligent move by
Pentax. I'm afraid they'll marginalise themselves even further.
Still, it's their business and they can ruin it any way they like.
