I've read Thom Hogan's blog for years. I respect him a lot. In his blog today he had a thread entitled
"I See Dead Mounts". He placed the Pentax K and Q mounts in the lowest category (on-life-support).
In spite of Canon, Nikon, and Fuji recently announcing exciting new cameras, I'm not planning to sell my Pentax K-1's because they still do everything that I want from a stills camera.
But I'd have to be blind not to notice that some of the best, long-term contributors here have recently jumped to other brands (Kenspo, loveisageless, Graham, and others).
If someone were to buy all my Pentax gear tomorrow, I'd use the money to by another Pentax K-1 body. I'm stayin with Pentax for the long term for two reasons -
- Pentax does pixel shift better than anyone else
- Adapted Zeiss ZF and Leica R lenses perform brilliantly on Pentax bodies
Well, if someone were to offer to buy all of your Pentax gear tomorrow for what you've got into it, what would you do with the proceeds? Would you buy another Pentax system, or use it as an opportunity to switch brands?
