Originally posted by normhead Hostility towards Pentax has always been a part of the forum, I used to get annoyed by it. To me, it's an odd person that chooses a brand, and then gets annoyed because it isn't everything they want. I tell them to go buy something else, but they'd rather gripe.
It begs the question, is it possible to own a Pentax without trashing it all the time? Personally I'd like to see the first phase of moderation be excessive bashing of the brand. On the other sites I go to, there is no bashing of Pentax or any other brand. People just share pictures etc. Only on the Pentax forum is the unreasonable and pointless bashing of Pentax a daily feature of the site. It doesn't have to be that way....

It seems more that a little weird to buy into a brand that you
know doesn't make the product you want, and then you start bashing that brand for not making what they don't make, never have made, and never have given any indication of planning to make. I suspect that the explanation isn't too far away, though. Blaming the camera/lens/flash system/LED lights is easier than to face the fact that you just aren't a very good photographer.
I prefer to try to improve my skills instead. I might not succeed but I do try. And I don't live under any delusion of being held back by my camera.
