For some reason I have a good feeling for Pentax, but I cannot explain this rationally. So maybe you can help my decision by telling me:

Why Pentax?

Why I should choose Pentax instead of Canon or Nikon or any other brand?

Thanks

Pentax has a long-standing history of outstanding glass. If you can get your hands on an older FA* lens, or an A* lens, coupled with a K20D, you're looking at some of the best image quality out there. The DA*'s are very good as well.

Here are a couple of photos I produced using the lenses below: Greenland photos!

While in Greenland, I participated in a photo workshop hosted by a company in New York; many photos taken my the other members' Canon or Nikon cameras fell short in sharpness and color compared to the Pentax shots. In my option, though, half of everything is the person behind the lens!
