some props from Nikon pros

I went on a "photo safari" at a nearby zoo. Two Nikon-shooting pro photogs led the all-day workshop; one did commercial work, and the other did forensic work. Of the roughly 15 folks in the workshop, two of us shot with Pentax. Towards the end of the day, the other Pentax shooter was asking the pros about the availability of Pentax equipment, and that conversation broadened into a discussion about Pentax generally. Both pros were quite complimentary of Pentax equipment. One noted that for awhile in the 90s Pentax bodies weren't so great, but that the K10/K20D series had really elevated the brand again. They raved about Pentax glass. And both of them urged this young photographer to stay with Pentax.

Just want to give props where props are due.

Great to hear.. Pro Photogs that Know how to shot in Manual mode and use a light meter ect.. And been around long enough to shot film. Have respect for Pentax.. It just the group of techo junkies.. Who just want the latest most expensive camera out there and grandstand with it.. that have no respect for Pentax.. I have respect for all camera makers... Even Holga (:

They are obviously pros in the full sense of the word. The quality of the glass is paramount, and the K10D and K20D are *great* cameras!
