Tom, Your comments strike a chord with me. I've owned Pentax gear since starting with an ME in 1978. By 1993, I had purchased several lenses (M's) but only my 3rd body, a PZ-1. That was 3 bodies in 15+ years and skipping multiple generations.
Then came digital... I resisted until GFM and then ordered a *istDS on the ride back home. Then I jumped on the leading edge with a K-10 followed by a K-20, then a K-7. Pentax made more money from my recent camera purchases than lenses. I keep on chasing the latest technology to their profit. Would I like a FF camera? Absolutely! I still pick up an LX or MX and look thru the viewfinder. The picture is wonderful, big, bright, and very desirable. I will pay money to get back to that... And to have my wide angle lenses back!
