When you read someones post you are like a horse with blinders on racing for Pentax heaven which results in zero reading comprehension on your part. Yes we are all aware you have a "flawless" K5 because you keep reminding us over and over every time someone tries to discuss their problem. Pentax is not a person it is a "for profit corporation" You know that..right.
Since ThorThum's K5 self-destructed so badly I am hoping Pentax just replaces it very quickly and shows him they do care about his business and treat him as he should be treated....A person that invested allot of his money in their product that they want to retain as a future customer. Everybody wins when a customer is properly taken care of. Excuses are just excuses.
Try to take life easier Rubert so you can keep posting your helpful posts. Best of luck to you!
It would be hard for me to say the K5 is a nice mediocre camera that most have problems with, when that is just not what we see here day after day. We see enthusiastic owners, most with few if any problems. If reporting that is offensive, then I certainly man up to it.
As for those with problems, I sympathize, have never denied their existence , and have never belittled them for reporting their negative experiences. I want justice for each one of them and in a timely manner, as I would for myself. If they are not treated fairly I will squeal for them like a stuck pig if they don't feel they can do it themselves. Again, what do I owe Pentax...not a damn thing...but I do love this K5, and I thank Hoya for it,even though I have absolutely no use for Hoya and have made that very clear many times. I'm hoping for better results and communications with owners from Ricoh for the benefit of the Pentax Brand and for all loyal Pentax users. In a word...Hoya sucks.
Now, I don't need to be in any fights here, my big mouth can quickly get me in trouble, and has more often than I like......Mrs Rupert has a holster just for a broom to slap me around several times a day...so you can continue to express your beliefs, as I am in favor of that liberty here or anywhere, and I will continue my praise of the K5....ridiculous or not, overboard or not, and let others decide if I am right or not. From what I see, I am way ahead on those opinions.
Looking at the "Post Your K5 Photos" thread, I am not seeing a lot of whiners there....are you?
Anyhow, help keep me from getting in too much trouble......just pretend I am an old guy that talks with Squirrels and it will be easier to humor me.....
Best Regards!
