Do you remember when someone asked what it was and that we had a long discussion.
Well Carl Zeiss seems like they have covered every part of it, it's a long and quite a though read. Have only read the first two pages and decided will read it tomorrow.

Here is the article, enjoy.

you made a point but I hope they know how to build a OS but I question that sometimes...

I really don't question your intentions Jack, I'm just questioning al those register cleaners, I've never been lucky with one and that's why I don't use them.
This one could be different though.

And how many are there of Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Sigma, Samsung?

I see what you're going with the sponsoring but Pentax is not big enough, it's as simply as that. They don't have the money and resources to spare to do that.

Only true photographers know Pentax, is that a bad thing?

I'm happier that Pentax stay small and more personal, more for the photographers then being so big as Canon or Sony.
Only with Nikon I've a feeling of the bigger brands they have true cameras for the photographers.

Jack I don't like it if a program goes through my register to make it faster, I don't think any program is sophisticated enough to determine if a change would not destabilize mine system or not.
Also why would a company like Windows with thousands of people not have enough to spare to do the same trick?

did that by mistake but it's indeed true and it's very sad. Some competition wouldn't hurt my wallet and would make Adobe more serious.

I wonder if Autodesk/Discreet might be able to venture into photoshop waters?

Don't you think they are such fine cameras because they put effort in them? I find it a very strange statement from your side.

They don't need to sell so many because they aren't big, Pentax probably have 15% or so of the expensive that Canon has so Canon needs to sell so many. Most likely for every 20 Canons, Pentax can sell 1 Pentax and have the same profit.

ps. the same is true with Olympus, Leica, Hasselblad, leaf, etc. you don't see them on those shows either, just not interesting for them.

Pentax does attend on trade shows but Focus for example was truly not one that's profitable for Pentax so I understand they didn't go there. They certainly are present on all the Major trade shows, Photokina for example at the end of this year and they also are always on PMA.

Pentax is a small company, they don't need to dominate the market to be successful so they can do it with less.

Also just wait and see what they will do with the 645D, you might see more professionals using Pentax maybe.

Gwyn I'm using my unlimited 3g connection to Skype
If you've unlimited internet as well you could try that, it's not Ping though...
I don't think Apple allows you to do that on the iPhone but ain't sure, I thought they might have recall that decision.

No nothing wrong with that but do you need it, that's what i ask.

I think it would be wrong for Pentax to do that because it does not add any value to their products, I rather have them put the effort into their cameras.

I don't see what windows have to do with this? Even if I could get it on my phone for free I wouldn't do it, because I find it useless but that's me.

I never trust such programs, am I the only one?

No that's not true it relies on the build-in flash to trigger the Metz but you can set the build-in flash in the custom menu so that it does not contribute to the scene.
