Oh, I'd forgotten about him. Some of my favorite Rubenstein quotes:

"Thinking that Pentax will start selling an up to date DSLR, when
they've sold nothing more than simple P&S digital cameras, is pure
fantasy."

"It isn't that Pentax will use some new lens mount on an
interchangeable DSLR, they aren't going to release an interchangeable
lens DSLR."

"They missed their window of opportunity and have passed on making
this type of product. By the time that Pentax would ever start selling
an IL-DSLR, anyone who wanted digital will have been long gone."

"I have no idea why anyone seriously thought, as opposed to wished,
that Pentax would sell a DSLR. People who have a need for digital
have, and will, find other solutions."

And this last gem:

"I don't expect any major, or long term, effect on the Pentax used
equipment market."

Wonder what he'd pay for my MZ-S now? <g>
