Are we really THAT rare?

I liked the K-X at the time I think a good camera as it was a well featured model in most ways v rivals. I like it until I saw my images at some shutter speeds with shutter induced blur with SR on.


Pentax have had a patchy run with QC on some bodies I don't think that has helped them much
K-r and K5 also had problems with AF, the only reason I stayed with Pentax is I have a fondness for some of their lenses if it were on QC I'd have gone long ago

Over the years I've gone past this "brand loyalty thing" I honestly think most of us know that in 100 years time anyone looking at our photos isn't going to give a hoot what camera or lens or how many pixels you had. We all fall for it..whatever happens to any of the makers so long as I can take photos I don't really care that much.


I do hope Pentax carry on, they have some genuinely good ideas and thinking offering something different. If not then that's life we move on

I think the recent price hikes on lenses put people off, and it has an impact on sales. Pentax are selling bodies at a fairly good price, but when you look at the lens range and prices (EU and USA) it's a real turn off IMO. I know some here are old hand's with a decent lens inventory, but for newer users starting off it's a real problem for Pentax

I saw someone with a K-r the other week, apart from that Pentax users are quite rare where I am.

Yes rare very rare. All the other 3 makers are in much larger numbers than Pentax.
Not that this matters, but even one camera shop I went into said that they were basically wasting their time with the Pentax models, sell very few of them..high cost of lenses is putting people off too (thanks to Ricoh's dumb strategy)

The last person I saw with a Pentax was some student with a Pentax K1000
I don't expect the brand to be around for that much longer..or if it is just tiny tiny market share. Ricoh are doing a lousy job just as Hoya were.
