There's nothing wrong with your reasons. I stayed with Pentax for 20 years for the inexpensive (used), quality glass. And I'm assuming you are refering to the used market here. Correct me if I'm wrong. Of course, there seems to be a run on A*, F* and FA* lenses recently as well as the better A, F and FA lenses. The days of eBay bargains are over. But loyalty wasn't the question. :-) disqualified! My new experience with Canon in the realm of backwards compatability is almost non-existent. I still own some nice SMC Taks that work on the 20D just as well as on the D or Ds. I do know that some Sigmas (like the EF mount 300/4 AF Macro I had in K-mount, need to be "re-chipped" to function on the Canon DSLRs (whatever "re-chipped" means). Other third party EF mount lenses apparently suffer the same problems. I choose now to buy new lenses... because I can. :-) > Don (Who just bought a Nikon FM to see what the 'other > side' was really like.) I used to lust after F3-HPs until I held and used an LX.
