Ето какво казва Shuhei Abe, президентът на SPARX Asset Management, която контролира 21% от Пентакс:
Let me discuss Pentax, of which we hold 21 percent. Pentax is an optical technology company that is known for making single-reflex lenses. Japanese camera makers have their roots in lens making and optical technology. Leveraging its technological strength, Pentax has diversified into endoscopy, an area that Japanese companies monopolize. The neat thing about the endoscope business is that once you become a supplier, you have a lock on demand for parts replacement the same way copy machine makers benefit from continuing demand for, say, toner. The mistake that Pentax and other camera manufacturers made was in digital cameras, which as a business are not like cameras but more like home electronics, with short product cycles. It's not an efficient business for camera manufacturers to be in. We have been in talks with the Pentax management and have been suggesting that they exit from digital camera manufacturing.
