A sad time for Sony/Minolta DSLR users
In rec.photo.digital Bruce wrote:
In the UK, Sony tried to take advantage of short term problems at Pentax and negotiated a major deal with Jessops (UK's major photo store chain - think Ritz). It appears there were special terms if Jessops stopped selling Pentax and gave Sony near-equal presence to Canon and Nikon in stores. Sony was duly given pride of place and Pentax was dropped for the first time for decades. When did this happen? I've never seen much Pentax in my local Jessops, but they've always been available in Jessops online. I just checked Jessops online, and they still seem to be selling plenty of Pentax. The result of this was that Sony sales were a spectacular flop. Pentax is now back and the display cases that were formerly Sony-only are displaying other brands. When did this happen? I bought a Sony lens at my local Jessops a few weeks ago (the astonishingly good value 35mm f1.8 which others have already commented on) and their large Sony display section was entirely full of Sony. -- Chris Malcolm |

I'm sorry: are you giving due credit to a piece of news on the Usenet? Haven't you fathomed yet that NOTHING said on the Usenet can be believed? |

Those who divide people into two classes, and those who don't. I belong to the second class |
