Bullshit. It was sold as the only film camera still made by Pentax. It was not sold as the pro-grade F5 competitor. Just because it was the only film camera they made anymore, that doesn't make a pro-level or "top of the line" camera, even if semantically it is. > I have no doubt that > Pentax will change sensors as soon as it makes economic sense to do so. > If a 1.3 crop or full frame 35mm sensor is released next week with a > price/quality ratio that makes economic sense.

Uh, sure, I follow you there -- they took 30 years to do it the first time around, but this time they're going to do it right away because I HATE THEM, THAT'S WHY!! I DON'T NEED ANY REASON BEYOND MY IRRATIONAL HATE!! LOOK AT ME, I'M P.J. ALLING!! I MAKE NO SENSE BUT BOY DO I EVER HATE PENTAX!! I'm joking -- I don't think you really hate them. But seriously, that's all I get from your posts. Why do you really think they're going to do this? -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
