There is a possibility that they may have no choice but to change the name if Hoya are retaining the medical optical business. It seems unlikely to me that both companies will be able to market wildly differing products using the same brand name.

Hoya may elect to change the name of their Pentax products of course.
Google Leica and you'll find that 3, yes 3 different companies use the name so no problem with the Pentax name being used by 2.

Ricoh film bodies were always good, but compared to the Pentax' of the time they were cheap. Maybe Ricoh will introduce a 'budget' DSLR to get new users who would move to the 'quality top end' models with the Pentax name, all models having the 'K' mount.

Surprisingly Stefan, I do have a long bow, as well as a modern recurve.

I haven't shot (note 'shot', you shoot a bow) for a while now. injury and work tend to get in the way. I should get rid of them to fund a new climbing rope, or K-5, or...

I just spend half an hour looking for the computer mouse... it was hiding in a corner on the floor


Last time I lost my mouse it turned up in a boot under the desk, tail-less mice are great but get lost too easily!

Tonight I will be drinking mostly gin..

...with a bit of tonic.

Just spent the first of 2 days on a 'Soft skills' course.

Grandmothers and eggs comes to mind but the management want us to waste time, sorry do the course.

Off out for a beer or 2 with some good friends tonight so tomorrow will be interesting.

Good for Scotrail for their diligence at seeing a guide dog and being over helpful.

Around here somebody would just try and nick your wallet!

Family meal tonight, first one in ages when both kids are home, as well as boyfriend and mother in law.

I just hope the half cow we're cooking's OK.
