Are we really THAT rare?

What's wrong with collecting bugs? :p It pays the bills for some of us. I sort of understand where you are coming from. I have a working collection and just the few film bodies I have, it is hard to make my rounds through them. I really need to divest a few things, Even the 3 fixed lens rangefinders will be tough though, Ricoh 5-1-9 and Argus C-4.



She will be shocked if she gets a D90. If she gets the D7000, she may not know what she missed with the K-5. If she doesn't get equivalent glass to the FA 50, she may be disappointed anyway.

A lot of those things that guys like Jay Leno have in there collections wouldn't exist then. They aren't practical to be driven every day. Some couldn't even be driven for a sunday drive by many folks anyway such as a steam car.

I saw a person with a K10d and another one with a K-7 & DA* 16-50mm at a festival near Tallahassee yesterday. The person with the K-7 came up and talked to me. He had a *istDS before. That is the 1st time in 6 years I've seen a digital Pentax in the Tally area. I saw 3 Canons and 2 Nikons not counting the Nikon I had taken with me for my second shooter to use.

The irony is that one of the best things in the current Canon catalog is tilt-shift lenses.



I guess $100-250 is modest. :p

The thing is, the aps-c/24x36 debate is mutually exclusive of legacy glass. Pentax legacy glass was made for ff bodies. Even the DA ltds may be usable if and when Pentax rolls out a ff body if they could come up with a system that works like Nikon and only uses a part of the sensor when one of those lenses are used. Bob's problem is he has his head up his proverbial Canon butt and can only see and think in terms of Canon crap.

This post is a crock. Pentax sold well in the U.S. from the 50s through the 1980's which coincide with the muscle car era. The part in red is the biggest crock of all. Small Pentax taught Nikon and Canon what an SLR was. They were busy making mimics of the Leica sm and Contax rangefinders. The German firms were in denial about Japanese SLR cameras until 1968. It has more to do with marketing than in single facet. Pentax slid when they lost their places in the Photography counters in Sears and the old K-Mart and then in the camera stores. I don't know what the best tank has to do with it.

But you are on a relatively small island. :lol:

I have ran into a few Pentax film users in Tallahassee but no dSLR. I have heard about a couple of people with K200d, but have never seen them.
