Mark,

FWIW, my local lab owner here said that from his experience, PMA shows
are bigger and more important for product announcements than
Photokina.  I guess frequency is one reason.  A show every two years
doesn't make for as good a venue as a show every year.  Perhaps Pentax
and Nikon have plans for the PMA.
