Thanks for sharing my link. :-)<br>
All, I'm happy to answer any questions there may be, excluding comments about the style of presentation I use. <br>
Arthur - presumably they will outsource some production of metal parts and other items - but this would not be new - they have done this for a very long time already. The optics came from Zeiss or Schneider since forever as an example and also from third party manufacturer's in Germany. Many metal parts were made elsewhere for a long time and also the circuit boards too. The bigger question will be what products will continue and what new items will be added. They did change the design of the metal shades for the bayonet 104 lenses in the 6000 and Hy6 platforms and they have new film backs coming for the Hy6. <br>
A lot of how they do depends on whether there are sufficient sales or not. I'm sure they would add additional employee's when there is need to do so, but they are able to both do service and make new product now. <br>
