JVC to buy Pentax, Hoya denies it
The rumor is that JVC-Kenwood Holdings is in talks to buy Pentax (source - Google translation). Hoya (the parent company of Pentax) quickly denied that report (source). It is not a secret that Hoya has been trying to do something with Pentax, based on previous history of comments from C-level executives (see here and here). HOYA CEO said "It's unnecessary to keep Pentax camera division in the HOYA Corporation" (source).
