We've had high-end Pentax glass many times in the past, and all it's ever done is sit there, gathering dust. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is a very affluent part of the world. Through my job, I've met dozens upon dozens of pro photographers. I have yet to meet ONE who uses Pentax (it sucks to have to pretend to like Canon, by the way), even though the majority of them could afford pro-quality outfits if they wanted to. Other high-end stores I've been to in the area have had similar experiences. If I ask why they don't have higher-end Pentax lenses, they all tell me they just don't sell. No exceptions. It's unfortunate, but that's the market. You want pro equipment, you go Canon or Nikon. John Celio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
