Who needs that when u can go for digital Pentax 645 soon?
Pentax just has many features that we all love, and are seldom based off social influence. Almost every Pentaxian i know of did their homework well, and that's why they were led to this brand. Had we followed the herd and the usual coaxing in camera shops by the uncles "Why Pentax? Go Canon or Nikon la..", i doubt we would be here at all.
Going for the usual C / N can't be
wrong, but there are other choices out there that may tailor better to our needs, and us here have decided Pentax is the one for us!
Pentaxians seldom find the need to popularize or market our products to our friends, we merely let them see what our cameras can do and how it can perform, that is proof in itself :thumbsup: And that is also how Pentax markets its products to the consumers, simply by showing what their cameras can do and letting the buyers who have done their homework pick their choice.
For me, it's a little bit of everything, but the major advantage has to be total compatibility with M42 lenses, body SR and VERY value for money products. I started off with film, so i hear alot of the legendary performance of M42/K-mount SMC optics, and it naturally influenced my decision when i ventured into digital as well.
