Hotax Has NOW Been Rictax! ;-D

The Hotax Days have been Over, it's the Rictax from NOW on! :-o

To celebrate the day, my Blog name has also been renamed, momentarily!

Do note the changed title above, now it is called "Riceh's Pentax Blog", for the moment! Well, doesn't it look alike?! Well, it is NOT a Typo, surely! ;-D Lol..

Finally, do you see all those Full Frame cameras of Pentax and Ricoh in the beside picture? How a bright future it will be! ;-> Btw, FF-9D could actually stand for Full Frame Nine Digital! What an accurate Prophecy about the future more than twenty years ago!! :-o

As for that 35mm Full Frame Hotax underwater camera, I have recently downgraded to a 1/2.3" one, one of the last Hoya-Pentax manufactured cameras btw, see the label below:-

Indeed a day worth celebrating! I did think Hoya was a good fit for Pentax.

Now it puzzles me a little bit this take over happens on a SATURDAY! It's a non working day.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) don't know Saturdays. Nor do they know day and night. Nor modesty and tactfulness.
I meant I DID NOT think Hoya was a good fit. Very different corporate ethos between these two.
FF from FF-9D stands for fixed focus...

PENTAX RICOH IMAGING COMPANY LTD. is formed

The focus is not fixed, coz' it has auto-focus. And, it is a 35mm Full Frame camera, isn't it? Note what are printed on the box! ;-)
