My answer is simple. I don't want to. For many reasons. Pentax make brilliant user interfaces. And afforable consumer lenses as well a pro lenses. I can buy affordable and still hope for professional lenses. Good backwards compatibility (could be even better) - excellent old lenses may cost less than a new consumer lens. K-mount lenses are very easy to get, and not expensive. (I have a nice M*300mm, that cost me 700 USD. A new 300mm Pentax pro lens would drain my budget by 12000 USD (list price). But I still have both options. Pentax cameras are very reliable. When ever one of mine broke, it was my own fault (with only one exception in 23 years). I have a huge number of lenses available. A 20 year old 100 USD Pentax lens can produce perfectly sharp photographs used with a state of the art digital body. Are Canon offering this?
