i have bought almost every newly announced Pentax lens and body in the past
3 years. they enabled me to do things in ways that mattered to me that my
previous lenses and bodies were not able to. i own mostly FA* and Limited
glass because they do things that lesser Pentax glass is not able to. i have
asked Pentax for an equivalent to a derated Nikon D2X because i know it is
within Pentax's design expertise to do so at a reasonable cost. i want to
give Pentax's best lenses the ability to capture what i see my professional
peers do every day with their non-Pentax bodies that are outside of the
capabilities of Pentax's best bodies. i am not duplicating my Pentax lens
collection in another vendor's just because i have nothing better to do with
my money.

I read and chose to ignore them in the first place. You seem to be
forgetting that Herb has contributed to Pentax's wealth by being
consistently an early adopter of spendy equipment. In the same series of
posts where he expresses his doom and gloom scenarios, Herb wonders why he
cannot push more of his money Pentax way.
