What kills me is that their facebook avatar is now just the ricoh logo. They should have made pentax its own subsidiary like all the smart companies do. Its like ricoh cares nothing about the rich heritage that pentax has. Its just some disposable name now? Its true the Asahi Optical Company

I'm sure if you got really creative you could find a lot of legitimate uses for tits on a boar. (don't go too hard on my attempt at humor, its been a long day) good luck! On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 8:37 PM, John johnsess...@yahoo.com wrote: Just saying! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List
