But I use it too. I've considered buying one for myself,
as I usually buy cameras in pairs but I've got some items I'll buy first.
I put the wife into Pentax 7 years ago when she wanted to persue photography too.
We both shoot, unlike most couples in persuing images, you know:
Where one person waits & waits & waits while the other has a great time.
I buy her new gear or great used gear, not my discarded hand me downs.
She has her own 300mm 2.8 in Pentax K-A mount. I use it too.
Being that its an Adaptall2 lens it works fine on my 5D & D700 also.
Its nice to have 2 perspectives at same locations.
Its so popular to merge car info into camera info and compare the two.
I've spoken of our Turbo 5spd Subaru here before, but not how it relates to cameras:
Its insanely sweet ride, easily best car I've bought new or used. It is not a camera. Its a car.
Below is one of the photography forums I visit.
Good Luck finding armwresting debates over which is better:
Full frame or apc-c or aps-h or...
Or debates over gear that does not exist, when so much great gear already exists & has for a couple decades.
Many people there own many brands at once. Alot of Ex Pentax Medium format shooters there.
They "MOVED ON", cash'd out of Pentax gear years ago & I read full frame makes them good money instead of 645, 6x7.
Cameras are tools to help you achieve your vision.
If you got the money and pentax won't make you a full frame
should you just sit another decade and wait cause its either pentax or nothing?
It's been quite popular to cannibalize K Mount green star lenses to use on eos full frame.
You'll find these Pentax lens cannibalizers in "Alternative Gear & Lenses"
No one argues Pentax didn't make great lenses, they just won't make full frame.
Ned said so. Interviews say so.
Good Luck finding a dedicated Pentax area like their Canon & Nikon forums.
There's alot of working pros on fredmiranda. Lots of great info:
