In the film era I learned on my older brothers Topcon, then my own fully mechanical Minolta SRT101, as electronics became more integrated into cameras, I found the later Minolta's less than reliable and dropped them... I shot both Pentax & Nikon for wedding work... Nikon F3HP, then N8008 my first AF camera... for Pentax I shot 645 for weddings & the 6x7 for landscapes. When I threw in the towel for pro work I sold off my film stuff and looked into digital... I saw Nikon abandoning their legacy glass compatibility on everything except their top models and that kinda cheesed me off...I saw Pentax attempting to maintain compatibility all the way back to M42 mounts with adapters, and even could use my 645 & 6x7 glass with a K adapter if I wanted to and thought, wow, there is a company that thinks like I do!
I decided I'd try Pentax digital to "play and relax" with, so then I went with the *istD series, an awesome 6mp camera, and then several upgrades later to the K-1 I am still enjoying photography. Combine the K-1 with the latest HD FA lenses like my 150-450, and it's on! Pentax has turned out to be a great choice. For the most part, I have enjoyed Pentax bodies and glass... so here I am, just a duffer still with Pentax and still having fun. I guess I am in it for the long haul.
