Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: Interview with the Optical Engineer/Designer of the DA 18-135 Lens

Interview with the Optical Engineer/Designer of the DA 18-135 Lens

It's official, see:-

http://www.hoya.co.jp/english/movie/interview01.html

via http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=37131370

And I quote what the OP poster says, "There is an interview with a (very young) Pentax lens engineer. Nothing more than common sense and obvious concepts in the interview, still it's a a little step towards a better communication with end users. Hope for more."

Nevertheless, I'm afraid that it is just not intended for "better communication with the end-users", but just all are for the purpose of marketing afterall! Also, this is not the first time for Pentax to publish similar articles. In fact, they did have done that before.

This is how your site works. First you grill Pentax/Hoya for not being transparent to it's customers. Now you grill Pentax/Hoya for having *been* communicating but dismissing it as "marketing". For the sake of traffic you have to twist every scrap of Pentax news into something negative.

You prove your hypocrisy everyday Rice. You come off as desperate and childish, crying loudly like a baby, begging for attention. The only person you are fooling is yourself.

If you want to be taken seriously, stop doing what you accuse Pentax/Hoya of doing and *listen* to YOUR comments. Unlike the threads you scour under aliases (because you've been universally banned) looking for rare negative comments; the vast majority of the comments on your own site really are negative. what does that say about the "RiceHigh Brand"?

If it is not marketing, tell me another word to best describe the publication.

it could be "communication" as the OP said, or for others perhaps "reassurance".

Yes, it is both: marketing and communication. It is not bad! Don't be so negative, Rice

Hello,i'm not sure the "very young engineer" is very young in his job, please have a look to this: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7324293.pdf
even there is a small difference in the name, i suspect it is the same person.

Oh no, we would not want Pentax to market their brand and increase sales. That would be disastrous for us! Pentax would have more money to dedicate to R&D, which would mean they would be able to flesh out their high-end lens line!

And furthermore, all you do is make it less likely for Pentax to make any money. I realize you have none of your own to spend on anything so you don't care, but for everyone else on the planet just leave everyone alone. I hate to think that novices everywhere are being misled by you.

That is my hypothesis, BTW, as to why you don't shoot Canon. You can't afford the switch. Why else would you shoot with a 50mm 2.0 lens?
