The way I see it, Pentax is at a cross-roads- nope, strike that, I'm the one stranded there. One the one hand, development on the 35 mm Pentax SLR's seems to be gathering momentum, there are also rumblings on the Medium format list that Pentax is coming out with an improved version of the 645n and then there's the digital Pentax SLR looming (if something a couple of years away can loom, that is) Just 6 months ago, I was saving up for the MZ-S; now I see that my Z1-p is as good a camera, if not better, in a bulkier package. The 645n suddenly made a lot more sense- but I'll wait a while for those upgrading rumblings to die down. Or am I doing the wrong thing by moving into a different format and beginning afresh? I'm now concentrating on architectural and landscape photography and the more deliberate approach imposed by the MF does help. Of course, the digital SLR is waaay out of my budget so I'm safe there :-) Any suggestions/ comments? RK - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
