I recently made a disparaging remark about a specific Canon body, the Rebel 2000, but even I realize that a great lens on a poorly built body can still give quality results, as long as the body doesn't leak light and the user knows how to use it. It all boils down to the eye, judgement, and skill of the photographer. A great subject doesn't hurt either.
Besides, I think most of us own other cameras as well as Pentax. The PDML is just where most of us come to share Pentax info and experiences. Unlike some, who seem to come here for the opportunity to bash Pentax.

This is unfair at best. I don't think it's stupid to buy a Nikon. In fact, I have considered it myself. Nor can I remember anyone here claiming that Nikon or Canon is stupid. This is in contrast to Photo.net where you should buy a Canon because it's hard to find used 300mm lenses for Olympus. People on this list own different brands of cameras and know there are different tools for different jobs and that there are different preferences. We are definitely Pentax fans but that doesn't mean we think everybody else have missed the boat. Now that's the difference.... Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
