this thread is not about "most people" we are talking about PENTAX DSLR purchasers and PENTAX lens system purchasers who tend to consider lenses as something more than just a thing on the camera to take pictures with. jco

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. William Robb
