Hmmmmmmmm...
Azt eddig is tudtam, hogy a fototechnikai szabadalmak nagy resze
eredetileg a Pentax-tol szarmazik, de erre nem gondoltam en sem!

Azt hiszem, a dolog hattereben a tokeero all. A Pentax evek ota
kuzd, es az SLR piacon - be kell vallani - nem az ove a vezeto szerep.
(Olyannyira, hogy pl. itt Becsben a "kommersz" fotoboltok [MediaMarkt,
stb.] nem is tartanak Pentax SLR-t.) A Pentax az utobbi evekben ero-
sen a kompakt kategoriara es az egyeb (ipari?) optikai termekekre
specializalodott (tavcsovek, szemuveglencsek, ipari/orvosi meroesz-
kozok), es ennek tukreben nagyon elkepzelheto, hogy a Canon es a Nikon
kepstabilizatorai melett nem tudott PIACKEPESEN kiugrani a sajatja-
val, inkabb eladogatta a licenszeket. Egyes kosza velemenyek sze-
rint a Pentax ujabb, "limited" objektivjei azert olyan "hulye" gyuj-
totavolsaguak (31mm, 43mm, 77mm), mert a Pentax nem kepstabilizatoros
objektivet akar kihozni, hanem egy kepstabilizatoros adaptert(???).
