This is actually good. If the best support for legacy lenses in the industry (which is, let's face it, what Pentax provides) isn't good enough for you, then it's probably best both for you and for Pentax that you each go your separate ways. Anyone who's ever worked in retail knows of customers who are very hard to please. A wise businessman tries to keep them all happy in order to retain their business, but there are a select few who are so "high maintenance" that they end up increasing costs more than the profit they bring in can justify. We've had customers like this at every retail operation where I've ever worked. Eventually you just have to accept that the business relationship with this customer isn't working out and that it's best for *both* parties if they follow through on their repeated threats to "take their business elsewhere". There is really no reason for hard feelings in this matter but it rarely works out that way. The customer usually gets angry and claims that he brings in valuable business. If it's pointed out that his business increases costs more than profits, he (it's almost always a male) will claim that he constantly recommends your business to friends and acquaintances and thus brings in money indirectly. This is almost never true in my experience. You just need to calm down, sever your ties with the business or company that has dissatisfied you and move on.
