Originally posted by FHPhotographer It's possible too many of you have spent way too much time defending Pentax from the slings and arrows of Nikon, Canon, Sony and others and so have developed a perverse siege mentality … it's y'all against the world, and the world is defined by anybody who doesn’t agree with you. This would be silly if not so sad, because I think I hear a steady drumbeat of anti-intellectualism in the background and that is very troubling.
where did this come from?
you haven't been on the forum long enough. we are all aware of the shortcomings of Pentax and there are incessant threads about it in the News and Rumours forums. there have been tonnes of pentax users who have left because they don't deliver what they need and we all realize this. in fact we even encourage people to leave when their gear doesn't work for them.
if you're upset at the responses to your poll, don't be. if you're willing to experiment, try putting up similar polls on other Camera forums and see what the responses are. i'm not sure you'd get anything more than what you have right now. maybe you'd get my macro is good for macro and my portrait is good for portrait. if you want to see some cool informal comments about lenses, this is the place to go
