I would point out that we generally have sufficient rain for our needs - and rumours of some rural villages where the dwellers have webbed feet are nothing but a vile calumny.

If they can't do it, maybe we can. Suggestion for next PF T-shirt :
'Buy Pentax - Canikon is cr*p'

Don't know if this can be a true measure of rarity, but Pentax bodies and lenses on eBay always seem to sell for an inordinate dollop of dosh.

Should have reported the nearest ship for discharging waste oil.

I've used Pentax since the 'K' mount came out, always purchasing second-hand, slowly working through lenses as I could afford better ones, and finally a DSLR (plus the five film bodies I still have). I look at all the dissatisfied people glaring enviously at their neighbour's 'new model' Canonykon, when they want to 'upgrade' their equipment - and I look at the shop windows and on-line stores selling gear bought recently, then traded in at a fraction of its original cost, to keep up with the Jones's (Not the Armstrong-Jones, of course.
And when I meet a fellow Pentax user, we greet each other like long-lost friends, both proud to be part of an exclusive club - we may even go for a drink together. And no-one looks envious, because we're content with what we have. I do find it hard to get second hand kit nowadays, though - I suppose it's because other Pentax users are satisfied too.
