A Petition

[benjikan]

I would like to suggest starting a Petition aimed at Hoya in regards to sustaining Pentax in the event they decide to drop the brand. I think it is important that we become pro-active and not wait around like cattle off to the slaughter house. Believe me, I am ready to call the President of Hoya to give him my point of view which will be quite compelling to say the least. I have the "Kahuna's" to speak directly to him as I have with many CEO's in the past..Just another human when it comes down to it.

Let's get the e-mail address of Hoya, Japan and compose a letter stating how disappointed we would be if they were to discontinue the Pentax brand and how that would affect our perception of Hoya and all brands associated with them.

I doubt that they will drop the brand, but let's show our loyalty to Pentax with a strong message...Don't play with "Mother Pentax!"

I am not concerned, as it would not affect my status or jeopardize my position as a photographer, creative director or music composer.

Let's Do It!

I, for one, would be willing to join any effort to insure the continuance of Pentax photographic equipment. I have been a Pentaxian since the mid-60's when I got my Honeywell-Pentax Spotmatic . . . still have it and it still works.

One of my disappointments was that Pentax was slow to catch on with DSLRs. I tried other brands prior to the production of the *istDS. Now that I have a *istDS and the remarkable K10D, I do not want anything less.

While I am probably not the one to pen the note, I am certainly willing to read, critique, suggest and agree.

Thanks for the great idea!!!!

Thanks for all your efforts with Pentax.
