Why is it we have so many people bashing the Pentax system on Pentax forums. Doom and Gloom Doom and Gloom. I seriously question the number of "photographers" that frequent this site. I see a whole lot of gadget obsessed people looking for the next best thing from concievably the wrong brand.
Now, I'm in no way saying Pentax is incapable of releasing the next best thing.....or am I?
It doesn't really matter.
Me, I shoot Pentax because I enjoy the old lenses and I thought...yes I THOUGHT I appreciated the community as well. That notion is growing dimmer with each visit to this website. No, maybe just this particular forum.
I'm excited to see what Pentax releases, or doesn't. Either way, I'll be out shooting with my K20D and K10D s much as I can.
When ever these threads start to get me down I visit the Post Your Photos threads - it is good to sometimes remind yourself that it is about Photography not technical gadgetry.
Heres a link for any that haven't been there before -
