This news is in todays Daily Telegraph's Business News and say's Hoya have agreed to buy Pentax in a stock swap estimated at £390m. The new company will be called Hoya Pentax HD.
I just wonder how this will work alongside Samsung? Anyway, at least Hoya is a top quality optical company and strengthens Pentax future against Cankon.
Anything that will up the Pentax marketing and distribution, terrible! Thank goodness i live only 15miles or so from SRS, the only problem is, being a pensioner, i can't afford the k10. Cue violins
I've just remembered, the Pentax name was clearly visible around the Murrayfield ground during the England Scotland game this autumn!
