I could not agree more. There must be many more interesting things to photograph in the dark of night and just as rare, like a mother and baby toad last night whilst hunting vine weevil, but no camera to hand.

A good name is often the result of good product or advertising, or a combination of the two. Pentax is no longer liked it used to be as Nikon & Canon are now the names that the vast majority of people think of in relation to cameras and lenses. However, people with a real interest in photography and its history are very aware of Pentax. I personally like the equipment and the brand name and I think it would be a very sad day if Ricoh removes the Pentax name from future products. I remember not so long ago Apple in the shadows as a computer company, look at Apple now. Pentax is an iconic name, Ricoh just has to get creative with its products and PR. Pentax can regain its mojo, but Ricoh has to want it too..
