   I hope I'm the one who missed. But if Pentax doesn't come up
   tomorrow with some form of K-DSLR, be it a beta-version, then soon
   chaos will reign both at Pentax and among its client base. Nobody
   will buy another piece of Pentax glass, except maybe for film
   nostalgics and those will rather look for used lenses. Sales of
   film SLR will crumble, and the company might survive an year or
   two of p&s sales, until electronics companies (Casio, etc.) will
   wipe them of the market in a price war. Our only hope is that
   someone (Fuji, Olympus?) will buy the SMC patents - but then it's
   highly unlikely it will revive the K mount.

   And I still hope I'll be soon proved wrong.

   Servus,   Alin
