Some interesting(?) tidbits from the Pentax universe Apparently, this years Pentax photokina delegation was among the largest ever including the boss and heaps of engineers. Weird, considering they had nothing to show. However, it turns out that they indeed showed a LOT but behind closed doors locked in a large safe (no I'm not making this up; I have this from a guy who was part of the Pentax delegation but not allowed into the room! Only the utter hot-shots were allowed apparently). I have no idea about the contents of this safe is but it's believed it's not the digital K-mount slr. After all, that one is not that secret (probably already on the distributors order list). It was said that Photokina was less seen as a news fair nowadays and more of a trade show (they are apparently thinking of arranging it every three year instead of every two). Some informed observes suggest that Pentax will want to celebrate their corporate name change (and 50th year of slr production) with product releases (they wil get more attention this way). The speculaters can guess whats in that safe. The pessimist will insist it's the next $100 P&S while the (incurable) optimist will believe it is new KAF3 lenses with USM and IS plus matching cameras.
