And it's funny. I don't perceive the discussion as negative. I find it to simply be a disussion of Pentax and the camera industry. I own a Land Rover and a Mitsubishi. If both those manufacturers disappeared off the face of the earth at 10:00 AM MDT tomorrow, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Whatever happens to Pentax, it won't be the end of the world either.
