I haven't seen you post any pictures or take part in any challenges - it seems you don't actually enjoy shooting Pentax or photography itself. I feel sorry for you if you now think you've made a mistake, and wring your hands about the implications of joining the Nikon crowd or getting out of our great hobby altogether.
I don't feel sorry for you , if we do not have the same desires, that's respectable. I was expressing my point of view, considering some wishes regarding what I'd like to buy. Staying on track with photography, if you wish to use your existing FF lenses with minimum spending, I guess it's ok for you, and that's what I earlier wrote:
Originally posted by biz-engineer Of course, there are lots of Pentaxians who own lots of old stuff, for them there's not risk, if Pentax would run out of business, you could still resell the same stuff at collection price. I'm comfortable even buying one more k mount apsc lens for $500, I consider it to be value zero after I use it for 2 or 3 years
So, again , if you already have a Tamron 70-200 , you can use it on a Pentax FF, you only have to spend for the camera body, that's way cheaper than stitching to another brand.
Now, my goal if different, I want to invert in good long glass, and in that case, I can't do it with Pentax, it just does not cut it, first for the perf. of what's available in Pentax, and second because I don't want to be swamped very deep in the k mount, which would be the case if I'd get into long lenses. I mean , as long as it is apsc , the spending is not a big deal to me, but going ff and long lenses is a substantial amount of spending, I can seem to be willing to do it with Pentax for the reasons I explained.

You bought a Sony A7. I did not do so. So why are you reacting like if you were attacked? I've simply been patient for the last three years, waiting to see how Pentax would evolve, and now I know...
