And in fact these are the people who represent the most desirable demographic for Pentax: The college-age crowd just getting into photography - who may become life-long Pentax users if that's the system they can be persuaded to buy into today. Despite the elitism we older, more experienced photographers feel, we aren't a very profitable long-term investment to pursue. The people who Pentax most needs to attract weren't even *born* in 1982 when the "A" series lenses were introduced!
