Even though a rumor, I can see the writing on the wall for Pentax... I
suspect the last 35mm K-mount lens I bought will be the last K-mount
lens I purchase...
Tom C.
Why?
If one has camera bodies that will mount K lenses, and considering the
fact that there are so MANY fine, used K-mount lenses around, why stop now?
If Pentax disappeared from the face of the earth overnight, there would
be zero impact on the bodies and lenses you now have, and assuming you
keep them because you LIKE them, where's the concern?
If you're concerned about film being available, that's one thing, but
not really pertinent. In MY most humble opinion, it's far from dead.
If you have one of Pentax' DLSRs, that at present take or otherwise
accommodate K-mount lenses... it seems digital bodies are not a problem.
At least for now, until the bodies all go bad and Pentax will no longer
repair them.
Frankly, I don't see a source for alarm, except perhaps for professional
users, som of whom go thru cameras and equipment like I change
socks...so it's said.
Why the concern?
