how much weight does the Pentax user forum carry within the Pentax world..should we as a body organise ourselves in a forum sponsored petition to inform pentax of our woes ? ..or would that be fruitless or not needed ?
My concerns are also for the KR users , that are seemingly out on their own due to the body not being in the Pro arena and as such not considered an issue for Pentax as much as the K5 ?
while in 95% of my current shooting the FF doesn't get in the way..but as life changes, so may my shooting desires what then ?
+1.......... with so many global forum folks, you'd think pentax/hoya would stand up and take notice... we've got some heavy hitters, tech wise, i.e. falk et al, who have been able to post/discuss the k-5 (and k-r) and it's focus issues.... in an articulated and illuminating manner.... outside of admitting, globally, that k-5's were sensor stained (now, hopefully, no longer an issue), i've read postings from pentax usa noting that they do not acknowledge this 'issue'.....
seems like those at pentax taking the 'point', (customer service)are taking customers questions/angst/anger, falling on the corporate sword...... glad it's not MY job.......... to our mods..... is ned bunnell the man (in north america) our best bet to start a prospective dialogue???
