Performance and (primarily) equipment compatibility were the reasons.
The tipping point was doing a studio shoot with my Camera Club (the TPMG
here in Toronto) where I couldn't use one of the lighting setups because
of it being Canon wireless (The club is something like 90% Canon
shooters). Getting better performance was a bonus (The EOS 3 offers more
performance than any Pentax AF body), although I do miss some aspects of
the D (HyperProgram especially).
Even when I had the D, I was still shooting about 60% film after the 1
month digital honeymoon (Mostly Tri-X in either my MX or my Nikon
F601m), so the jump back to pure film wasn't too hard.
I'm looking to add a serious MF kit to my mix as well, probably Bronica
SQ stuff (Pentax unfortunatly doesn't offer 6x6 kit)

You went from shooting digital back to shooting 35mm?
Could you tell us about that?

occasionally choosing another. I almost never used
Auto point selection,
which almost always picked the worst possible point.
With my EOS 3 (45 point unit) I usually leave it in
auto, and use FTM
focusing to override the selection if necessary (And
available, but I
only use one lens which doesn't offer it), of course
I could use Eye
Controlled Focus, but that doesn't like my eyes (I
squint). Manual Af
point selection on the 3 is something that is a
little problematic.
