"Hoya has probably (we don't know this for a fact) said something about the image division not being very strong, because they have to go outside the company for electronics. This may be or may not be a signal that they intend to get rid of the division.
"But one very likely explanation is that they want to weaken Pentax before taking them over. There are probably negotiations going on. Basically they are speaking money. So making statements like this is the only reasonable thing to do at this stage of the process. Because Hoya wants a make a good deal." ----- Bravo, Tim. A perceptive point.
