Jaume, I most respectfully disagree with you. Jaume Lahuerta wrote: > People already happy with their equipment? Sounds good but I don't > fully agree...I would say resigned instead of happy.
I am happy. I am still wishing for more, but I am pretty happy. I cannot talk for others though. > The consequence is that thread about future features and/or > complaints about present ones are no longer popular, and newcomers > that still have faith in that their brand will be able to fight in > the premier league look for other places to keep dreaming. I think that future features complaint thread is no longer popular because in fact, the things that we're wishing are limited in numbers (no pun here) and they've been discussed many times over. Further, in general, Pentax seems to be listening. I am really content with my K10D. I am so content that I will buy a new body either if (knock on wood of my head) mine breaks down or if a FF body that I can afford comes out. I don't suppose that we're on the brink of great revolution regarding the sensor design. As a photographic tool K10D is just about perfect. > So this is a more paceful place where people who knew each other > thanks to their (current or past) relation with Pentax now share > their pictures and have a good time talking about things related (or > not) to photography. Yes, sometimes there is some equipment chat, but > it is not the majority anymore. I for one, admit that one of my favorite past times is to look through PESOs and read/write comments about them. I must admit that unfortunately I don't get enough opportunity to enjoy my favorite past time *sigh*. > The 'negative' side is that the list may be seen as a 'closed' group > of friends, with lots of private jokes and not very prone to > orientate and convince new pentaxians that they have made the right > choice (I would say that there are far less introductions and > 'novice' questions that we used to have).

It is only natural that if one is a list member for many years, one gets to know their fellow list-mates. And of course it would appear for an outsider that this is a closed group, etc. However, I think you couldn't possibly disagree that if a question is posted to the list - it gets very thorough and extremely useful set of answers. Thus, the only thing the prospective newcomer has to do is to overcome their shyness. The rest will really be extremely easy. In fact, if an outside will have a look in the list archives, they will immediately see how amazingly friendly the atmosphere here is. Which I would imagine could be an attractive factor. > Anyway, as I said before, there are other places to look for > advice/information about Pentax nowadays...it is just that I have > been reading the list for so many years that it is hard to admit that > is is getting less interesting for me lately...(but I keep > reading...;-) ) Yes, there're other places. This one is still my favorite by a huge margin. > Jaume in their yearly eloquent day ;-) Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
