Indeed, you'd think having spent however many millions or billions to
acquire the brand, they'd at least try to make a go of it.
I know they were primarily interested in Pentax's

Good luck finding one that doesn't. You know how Pentax users are ;-)

Samy's is a large outfit carrying top o' the line Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad,
et., as well as all varieties of PS cameras. Further, they have a large web
presence. They provide processing for professionals as well as equipment
rental (lighting, cameras, backdrops, etc.) They are not Ritz.
Samy's is very high volumn for top o' the line mid range equipment.

I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad.
I grieve over them long winter evenings.

That's where I got my spare (black) MX - from their bargain shelf
(the meter wasn't working). I'd stopped in to pick up some of the
new Provia 400 film (only released a week or so before), and made
the mistake of looking in the used equipment section.
