True! If we can help promoting Pentax equipment, it's fine with me. I am interested in keeping Pentax in the photographic business. I would be very disappointed if I had to buy into a different system, when the day I need a *ist D replacement. How can the PUG get further promotion?

There are obviously some valid reasons to keep the PUG "Pentax exclusive." Perhaps we don't even need to admit Samsung entrees. After all, it's not meant to be democratic, it's meant to be Pentax.
