How long is Pentax going to stay in business? Almost no 3d party
lenses is not a good sign.


The last time I checked it seemed like most Pentax lenses was rebranded
Tokinas. That might have changed. Let's remember Pentax for the
affordable cameras in the sixties and the often stellar Takumars lenses
they made to go with them...
