| Mind if I stick around?
As if it hasn't been made obvious by the numerous things I've put up for sale lately, I am switching brands. Or rather, switching cameras; I found an incredible deal on a lightly used 1Ds Mark II and picked up a few lenses to go with it. As much as I love the K20D, I really can't justify maintaining two camera systems when it's just a hobby for me. And frankly, the 1Ds2 wins out -- as you would expect it to, and it is not fair to compare cameras when one costs brand new 1/4th of the other one used... Either way, I enjoy this forum very much and other than not being able to submit work for the contests, I hope you guys are ok with an off-brand user hanging out. I'll probably keep the Spotmatic and 50/1.4 just to have one foot left in the water though...  | |

No need to even ask as far as I'm concerned. You've still got a Pentax camera and Lens and I'm sure you're opinions are still just as valid. Just keep the other brand out of your posts.  |

And then, you'll be back. . | |

No worries here! FWIW, I did ask for a general opinion/consensus about posting some Canon images before. I generally leave brands out of any discussion, since it's the image that matters the most to me... unless I've posted an informal real world review of them... Having used two systems brings better understanding to the table when discussing things... but not to be used as a bludgeon for an agenda.  | |

Mmm, K30D... let's hope it will be all that and maybe I'll switch back. If Nikon can sell a FF body with monster AF performance at $2200-2300 I can't help but wonder if Pentax can put out a sub-$2k APS-C camera with stellar autofocus and framerate...Thanks for the kind words, guys. The Pentax system really is fantastic and certainly has the best crowd of supporters. | |

I don't see no reason as to why you should stay away from this forum. It's not as if Pentax is a religion "allowing for no other faith". Hehe. Or maybe it should be... That way noone should be able to switch. | |
