I find the presumption that not having compatability with a few lenses that are 3 decades old to be without merit. People have always bought Nikon or Canon (especially Nikon) because it's "what the pro's use", whether the camera they are looking at has merit or not doesn't seem to matter. > > But also, more and more, people will switch easily, because DSLR mean > change lens needed. Umm, sorry, but this sentence doesn't make sense. In English, it is just a bunch of random words. > > You need the best lens for DSLR, that is something that is more and more > evident. I think Pentax stacks up pretty well in this regard. I left Nikon for Pentax because of the Pentax lenses, not the bodies, although the LX was a hell of a lot nicer camera in it's day than the F3 or F1. William Robb
