Of course not; just the same rumor and speculation the rest of you have. The Samsung deal is all about marketing and (hopefully) resources (such as factories, advertising and distribution). > > I would expect Samsung to design their own bodies after a learning period.

Same for lenses: rebadged DA's are quite pointless, a seperate > K-mount Schneider lens line would be welcome. Re-hashing the Schneider brand is pointless. It's marketing. Who's going to design these lenses if not Pentax (or Tokina/Tamron/Sigma)? I'll put money on it. Samsung/Schneider will ALWAYS be rebranded Pentax bodies and lenses and furthermore, the aperture simulator will NOT return in either of these brands. Seriously, what terms do you want for a wager? -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
