I've been shooting a lot in public lately, some of it high visibility
jobs. I've been approached by numerous people who want to buy a digital
slr. I tell them that there are more options available from NIkon and
Canon, but that with Pentax you can use lenses built 25 years ago that
are very good and readily available through used equipment sources.. I
go on to explain that they have to be used manually. Few seem dissuaded
by that. There is a lot of interest when the complete Pentax story is
told.

seem to produce/sell enough new dedicated lenses and offer customers
enough
to choose from.
All the best.
