Pentacoh sounds like a bible-basher and Rictax sounds like something prescribed by a doctor who you hope has warm hands :biglaugh:

Thom Hogan is currently half-speculating about Nikon taking over Kodak, which would probably make Nikak. Kokon might be useful as a name for filters.

Better than Kodkon - though maybe if they changed that slightly and made it Godgon.

On a serious note, I think we have lost Ricoh to CR Kennedy now.....I wonder if they can assassinate the Ricoh brand in Australia as well?

Oh shit.

We were hoping that the distributorship would go the other way.

I certainly was hoping it would go the other way as well....but CR Kennedys is the larger business and must be doing pretty well with Pentax Medical. Whereas Tasco is really a bino company
