It seems like all I have to do is express a desire for something and there's automatically a big scrum piling on to tell me how wrong I am to have that desire. It's not mandatory, so it's prohibited, and I'm not even allowed to want it?
I apologize. I did not mean to attack your dreams.
It's like "I don't want one, so you can't have one!"
No, most certainly it's not. It's like "I used to want one, paid money for one and now I can see I can do without one. So may be you can learn from my mistakes and benefit from that."
Why not instead, "Oh yeah? Well, what I'd really like is to have ..."
I know what I'd like to have, but I also know that I am not going to be getting it any time soon.
It's my *dream*. It doesn't have to make sense to you or to anyone else.
If you say something to someone, it has to make sense to them, otherwise it won't be a dialog.
What is *important* depends on who's defining important. What is important to you may not be important to me ... and vice versa.
Sure.
I'll point out again, I don't expect to ever see the lens actually produced by Pentax - although I think they'd probably sell a boat load if they did. That doesn't keep me from thinking how useful it could be for me if I had one. Nor should it. Nor should anyone tell me I'm wrong for thinking that.
Yes.
And I understand Pentax is never going to offer a "full frame" 24x36 DSLR. I know. Ain't never gonna happen ...
This is most unfortunate. I share the sentiment with you, even you think I don't.
Unless, of course, they decide there's demand enough that it IS in their interest to offer one. And I expect the nay-sayers to be the first to pontificate on how inevitable it was that Pentax should do so and how marvelous an offering it actually is.
The demand generated by the market depends on specific social slice targeted by the company. It seems Pentax is not including you or me in that social slice.
I don't know. Just seems like some people can't be happy unless they're preventing anyone else from being happy; like there's not enough happiness in the world to allow anyone but them to have any.
Like I said in the beginning - I apologize as I did not intend to attack you in any way.
