Bullshit.  It was sold as the only film camera still made by Pentax.  
It was not sold as the pro-grade F5 competitor.  Just because it was 
the only film camera they made anymore, that doesn't make a pro-level 
or "top of the line" camera, even if semantically it is.

...because they no longer fully support 30 year old lenses, though they 
offer partial support.  Uh, sure, I follow you there -- they took 30 
years to do it the first time around, but this time they're going to do 
it right away because I HATE THEM, THAT'S WHY!!  I DON'T NEED ANY 
REASON BEYOND MY IRRATIONAL HATE!!  LOOK AT ME, I'M P.J. ALLING!!  I 
MAKE NO SENSE BUT BOY DO I EVER HATE PENTAX!!

I'm joking -- I don't think you really hate them.  But seriously, 
that's all I get from your posts.  Why do you really think they're 
going to do this?
