It was a no-brainer for me to stick with a Pentax DSLR since I could use my older lenses with it. IMO, it's not only loyalty but smart marketing. In fact, some of the press releases I've read on the new cameras make a point of the cameras being able to use 30+ yo lenses. And don't think word of mouth about that has escaped the on line community. I've heard people who don't even shoot Pentax recommend the new cameras because the potential buyer mentioned s/he had some Pentax glass
Frankly, I'd rather buy some new cards than buy 10 or 20 lenses. Shel > [Original Message] > From: John Forbes > > You are ridiculous.
