Yeah probably. But I didn't buy my first Pentax until 1990 and it was a
used MX and 4 lenses for $200.
So far I've bought Pentax because it was a good value for the money and
because of my slowly increasing lens inventory.

Tom,
Wasn't that back in the ME/MV/MG/M-Whatever days?

IMO, sure to be disputed, I believe Pentax abandoned us long ago, by not
staying competitive in the eyes of the marketplace, by not ensuring

being progressive.
waaaahhhh!
I can eat a couple CF's or microdrives, though I would prefer them over
SD. Lens compatibility issues makes them no better/no worse than other
mfrs.
There are quite a number of 3rd party products out there that are not
available in PK-mount. I'm not saying I want any/many of them. I just
know that more is available to users of other brands. To me it's an
indicator of either how third party suppliers feel about Pentax, or how
they feel about the kind of customers Pentax attracts.

"If USM is included it means that it won't AF on older bodies."
It is worrisome that Pentax might abandon its many users who have bought
autofocus lenses. Part of me believes that they won't. The other part of
me is still feeling outraged that Pentax abandoned those of us who bought
the D and spent a lot on CF cards.
