Not at all dear boy. Just a plain fact. The only reason I sold most of my Pentax manual focus film gear and purchased Canon digital, was because I was probably too impatient, and did not want to wait yet another year or 2 for the Pentax offering. For me, buying and selling lenses is just part and parcel of the game. Most come and go, some are gems and stay the distance, even making the transition across brands, why not? When I decided to switch, there was a lot of 'oooh, think of all that money you're going to have to shell out for new lenses, what a waste, what a shame, what a'......load a bollocks! There's only one thing I'm really interested in and that's the picture. Everything else is a supporting role, equipment included. If that means I sell all my Canon gear and buy a coupld of K10Ds and some lenses, that's fine. Not a problem. Unlikely, but not a problem. If a K1D made an appearance, I might be sorely tempted. For now, Canon does the job. I have no reason to diss Pentax. I am genuinely interested as to what the new technology Pentax will be offering in the K10D. If that means backward incompatibility, then I want to know, as I'm sure do others. I am not a Canon mole, only a photographic mole. !! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
