One year at photokina the people who make the Pelican cases got there to find that all of their samples had been confiscated by German customs. It seems the German company Pelikan that makes pens and ink had complained of trademark infringement. Similarly, how could anyone confuse those hard camera cases with pens and ink???? It didn't matter to the German authorities. Weird. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
