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.
