Really? How about Nikon when it was bought by Mitsubishi?

I didn't know that. When was Nikon bought out?


The Nikon situation is a bit different than Pentax/Hoya. But there have
been some cooperation between Pextax and Hoya for some time. What the
changes will bring remain to be seen.

For info on the history of Mitsubishi/Nikon see:
