I started with a Pentax because an engineer with Cable and Wireless had a Spotmatic, and said it was the best camera he'd ever owned: he loaned it to me for a week and I was hooked. Arranged with a friend travelling home via Singapore to get one for me, but couldn't stretch to a Spottie, so opted for an SV. Since then, except for one period with a Fujica (ST5n ?) after my SV kit was stolen, have stayed with Pentax, although I also have a Rolleicord for 6x6, and a Fed4 rangefinder when noise would be an issue. Sitting in the cupboard are several Spotties, another SV, K2DmD, ME, Super program, and still in regular use an *ist-D as well as my daily K5ii - and an MZ-S for film. Lenses for M42 from 18 to 500mm, and for M or K-mount from 16 to 400, so I'm not going to switch any time soon, as the key thing for me is that every Pentax I've ever owned has been an improvement on the last and just worked for me - and the glass is so good.
