Im in the same boat......Legacy Primes is all I really shoot and own. I do have a DA 18-135 WR but hardly use it.
I have the K30 and now the K3. Seems almost a waste to have a camera that is very capable , yet never taken off of M Mode.
Ive noticed the divide , but ist more like a "look at all the DA glass I have" VS people like us that produce nice images with the old lenses and shoot alot.
Too much auto everything shortens the learning curve of actually "Understanding" photography.
There are those that go out with all the latest and even very expensive glass that bang away with their setup and get some nice pics. Then there are those that rarely shoot much of anything , but have it all.
Then there are the learners that have more basic equipment and a desire to learn and do so. And last but not least we have the guys like me that hunt down old glass because we really wish film was around , shoot some with a degree of having a plan and idea , and hate photo shop.....lol.
I may be ignorant and inexperienced with all the newer lenses , but then again there are plenty here that are the same with legacy glass !
Who knows what each diffrent fraction is missing , but we are all here for the same thing......an enjoyment of Pentax cameras , photography , collecting , trading , and showing off whether its look what I did , look what I have , or look how talented I am.....its still a mutual enjoyment we share.
But....when some Azzhat starts dissing old glass and proclaims how wonderful his XYZ gear is....its nothing more than gas in the wind !
Look at the reviews on the lens below.....its on par with anything recent and hard to beat the image quality.
If a FF pentax/Ricoh ever shows up at my door ? ......Im set !
I noticed how prices are quickly creeping up on Ebay on older primes.....geeze.....I wonder why ?
Yeah....there is a divide , but it seems to be a friendly one....so far anyway.
I say have fun with whatever you shoot , just be repectfull and expect the same.
