I don't know if that was directed at me or not, however: 1. I still own Pentax gear. 2. I still use Pentax gear. 3. 'Abandon'? Why not 'switch' or 'change'? 4. Maybe I have an abusive personality. 5. Maybe I just like to complain. 6. Maybe I'm just tired of doling out money to Pentax when, for what is a bit more, and just barely affordable, I could have today's technology not last years or two years ago technology. 7. I hope you're not saying it's bad form to voice one's opinion even if it is at odds with the majority in a given set of of people. 8. Do you really find a dissenting opinion that distasteful?
