Feels, in a way, that Pentaxians have lost the humility. They've always been a little embarrassed and guarded about their chosen photo tools and, consequently completely forgiving of any semblance of criticism and eager to occupy the back bench of photography. Now that the K-5 has arrived, however, backs are straightening, head are clearing a prideful strut and confident swagger are clearly detected in the land. We kick ass so you best allow a place at the head table of photography. This may be the reason any lesser gear (K-7) is now ill regarded and freely "trashed." All of the above with a broad smile.
