That sort of short-sighted thinking is typical of the competition but I was hoping not of Pentax.
Well, let's see what Mr Parmar wrote only 2 days a go:

Oh is that all? So all that hype about "soul" and a camera for photographers was just a smokescreen for a body not even as compact as previous Pentax models? That's not a new concept to me. Guess I was expecting Pentax to be different.
Ah well, I'm sure it'll be a nice camera just the same.
Though with Pentax hiking their prices skyward I won't ever be able to buy one. So, people it pretty obvious that Mr. Parmar is lacking interest in this shitty Pentax concept not because he's not able to buy it, NOOOOOO (sure
) and he has a bad case our sour grapes. No way! He just wants whats best for Hoya and that is to add a feature that under 1% of any target group will ever require (including him) and the rest of 99% will pay for (including me). Somehow I have a problem with that!
On the same note:
Q: What is the top of persuasion?
A: To be able to convince your girlfriend that you're impotent because you're too afraid that you'll hurt her by having sex.
I guess we have a pretty persuasive guy above!

P.S. It was about time that pro whiners turn their faces to the past (btw, where the f*&* is the M42 mount K-7 for my 2 SMC Taks, shitty Pentax???????
) now that K-7 has about all the required features for the future. Of course minus the 1/250 X-sync that causes koluch insomnia or bad dreams.
