Spending-Shock Leader!
I wonder what Kodak and Argus were thinking in the late 50s and early 60s as Pentax and Nikon and Canon began selling SLR cameras in the US. Kodak especially would have been in a position to get in on that market as they were certainly capable of making excellent cameras and optics. Argus was still selling the C3 "Brick" in 1966 and it was an ancient design even then.
Maybe it was the same line of thought that had GM, Ford and Chrysler laughing at VW, Toyota and Datsun.
