But image and/or branding (nope, I don't like that word...) is about what
makes you stand out from the crowd, isn't it? Lens compatibility may be
important to Pentax precisely because Canon/Nikon/Minolta don't offer it.
Sadly, lens quality is way down on the list for most buyers.
They look at camera body specifications and base most of their decisions on
which camera body offers better performance, or worse, which company has the
highest performance body, even though they are buying the bottom of the line
product.
For most people, a lens is just something you stick onto the camera because
you need one to take pictures with.
