Greetings from a long time Pentaxian

I finally decided to join the forum. I have been using Pentax cameras since the early 80s, never deviating from the brand when considering SLRs and DSLRs. (Point and shoots and TLRs are a different story.) I currently use a K3 with vintage lenses, a K1, and a K3 iii. I have some old film cameras collecting dust, including an ancient K1000 (an all metal one from the 70s), a ZX-7, and a ZX-L. All are exceptionally fine cameras, and I now have a big enough assortment of lenses that it is hard to see me switching brands. I can see adding a new system, especially since I now want to go medium format more than ever, but for APS/FF shooting, I am a Pentax guy. And besides, with those small camera bodies and lenses (I'm looking at you limited series lenses), how can one not have fun shooting with Pentax gear?
