I've said this before here, but I scratch my head thinking what the K-5's natural successor is, i.e. what features are gonna make me think seriously about buying another body for the current lens inventory, and I keep coming up blank.
Maybe this is crazy, but if I were Pentax, I'd be investing in interesting new lenses. Feels like that'd be more likely to make me pull my wallet out. A seriously fast weather-sealed replacement for the 21mm Limited? Feels like there are lots of gaps in the ecosystem for various combinations of focal lengths with fast and weatherproof. -T On Sun, Dec 18, 2011 at 2:18 PM, Dario Bonazza <[email protected]> wrote: > Paul Stenquist wrote: > >> I'm betting they won't do it at all.
