Hi! All I can say is that you probably made a right choice. I am not sure about Canon since I think I never actually held any Canon SLR camera for more than one minute. But your reasons for abandoning Pentax seem pretty sound. That's exactly the point that seems to be worth repeating over and over. Once one's equipment cannot satisfy one's technical demands, and once the hit rate, so to say, becomes forbiddingly low, one should make a global change.
As for the discussion about *ist*. I think it is indeed a little too early to arrive to any conclusion. Though the number of crippled mount cameras grows dangerously. And now the new lenses. I hope no one would add me to their kill file if I were to say that in time, say several years, if and when I become a better photographer than I am now, I may repeat your reasoning... Or may by that time Pentax will simply grow enough to buy Canon so that we again would be on the same side of the fence <bg>. I wish you all the best with your new endeavor. --- Boris Liberman ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
