Good to see pentax still up there. I learnt photography on a k1000. The other name for the new company can be PR, and it does not stand for public relations, has a more medical meaning ;)

Hey, you know where you can stick your medical meaning :P. I have been a Pentax man for over 30 years. My Pentaxes have been up hill and down dale. Just hope Pentax can keep on innovating , they do have a couple of features that the rest do not have that make them a cut above the rest for astro.
