Same guy. I'll debate you when I think you're attacking Pentax unfairly. But that's just to help maintain list equilibrium. If I'm a fan of any camera, I guess it would be Leica thread mounts, but I'm a user for the most part. I've owned and used two Nikons, five Mamiyas, two Leicas, one Speed Graphic, one Minolta, one Canon and two Fujis in addition to ten or so Pentax. I blame list enablement for the large number of Pentax tools:-).
