First camera was a Practika, then a Fujica - but my first real camera was a Pentax MX - I chose Pentax because at the time (back in 1980) it was considered a camera for artists - while Nikon and Canon were more the beaters for the pro snappers. I wanted to be associated with a discerning elite, not a gang of ruffians. Real arthouse photographers used Pentax gear and I loved that.
A spate of cameras followed, including more MXen and LXen, and a slew of glass. But just a couple of years into this century I waited for Pentax to bring out a DSLR while Canon were introducing their second (the D60 after the D30) and changed after the MZ-D died. So how shallow am I ! But always wanting the best of both worlds, I took some Pentax glass with me to Canon, just because I could. I wish Pentax could reclaim that arthouse feel to the brand. Just a fond memory now. Ah well. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
