Two questions:
1 Do people in the C, N, and F forums ever say "Pentax did that right" or
something similar? Do they say that about companies other than their own
camera mfr?
I don't read other camera forums. In fact, this is about the only
"camera forum" that I read. The gang I hang out with all use Nikons and
Canons, and they all really like the Limited lenses. They have the same
concerns that I have regarding auto focus speed and accuracy though.
Back when my ISP still offered a news server, I used to hang out in a
usenet forum that was alt.binaries.photo.original.
It was something like PDML except that it was multi-denominational & you
could post your PESOs as attachments directly to the list.
I also used to participate in rec.photo.35mm.marketplace (not sure if I
remember the name exactly), which is where I encountered the fellow who
made me swear that if I ever did switch brands it would NEVER be to Canon.
2 Do you get the pictures you like with this equipment? If not, why do you
use it? Who not get the gear that does the job?
When one has a significant lens investment (I have close to 75 Pentax
lenses at the moment), that is easier said than done. However, were I
going to get back into the pro photography game, I would be looking at a
different brand of SLR and a few lenses. I've had too many frustrations
with Pentax over the past few years trying to shoot professionally with
their equipment to trust the stuff, especially considering how easy
companies like Nikon make it for their photographers.
If I do end up switching, it won't be an easy decision. Don't know if
I'll have enough years left to recreate my investment in Pentax glass.
I *want* a full frame DSLR. I hope I will be able to get it from Pentax.
But, I don't know if I'm going to have enough years left that I can
afford to wait for it either.
