I read somewhere that there over 10 million K/M Lenses in the field. What makes you think that This will only sell 100 cameras? Secondly, I don't expect them to provide this in every model They sell, just the top line models at extra cost. You act like Im expecting it for free on everything They make. jco

The same reason he also keeps ignoring the fact that even the $5.00-per-camera underestimate adds up to big numbers when spread over an actual production run. It isn't economically justifiable to spend that money to sell an extra 100 cameras to the lunatic fringe. And I'd much rather see Pentax spend that money on R&D and on some promotional efforts. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
