The only thing holding me back (other than being broke as a convict right now) is the hint in Miserere's blog that this is only the first iteration and that the second iteration might be an interchangeable lens version. That would be a killer! But, there's also my brand loyalty to Pentax to consider. I originally chose Pentax because I thought they gave me more value for the money I spent, and despite my more than occasional gripes, I still believe that's true. Maybe not so true as in yesteryear but still true. I really want Pentax to regain it's glorious position amongst the faithful. ----- No virus found in this message.
