I didn't "leave" Pentax. I stopped using Pentax equipment. Big deal: I've owned and used equipment made by all the major vendors and most of the minor ones too over the past 40+ years. Equipment is transitory: the least important part of doing photography is what brand of equipment you use.
If people feel they cannot do what they want with a particular brand of equipment, by all means they should try to use something else. If they then *still* can't do the photography they want to, I suggest that the problem isn't the equipment at all. I've been reasonbly successful doing the photography I wanted to do with all of the equipment I've owned. I change equipment mostly because I see advantage and comfort in trying some other gear, for some clear reason, usually because my photographic goals change and some other mix of gear seems to be more suited to a particular goal. Sometimes it works out that way, sometimes not. But I *always* get the work I need to do accomplished, whatever gear I happen to be using.
