At the Nature Photography Workshop I attended last week, there were 18 participants. Me with my Pentax gear. One person with a Panasonic Lumix (IIRC). Three with Canons. And 13 with Nikons of various models ranging from low-end APS-C to full frame. Most of us managed to take quite nice pictures whatever the instrument of choice. The financial trauma I would endure if I were to sell all of my Pentax gear would be severe, but then I can't see any reason why I would need to do a one-to-one replacement of all of my lenses etc. There were two former Pentax shooters there that I talked to. Both switched to Nikon because of lack of 3rd party support for Pentax. Which would not be an issue if Richo/Pentax would provide 1st party support with such items as tele-extenders, extension tubes, functional reliable flashes, L-brakets, etc. I have a Leica M-2 and a K-1000 on my nostalgia shelf; I'll keep one of my K-5ii's to sit with them when I have to switch to Nikon in a few years. stan > > On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 8:15 PM, John <[email protected]> wrote: >> On 8/12/2013 7:52 PM, Darren Addy wrote: >>> >>> from the domain names and web sites and social media of the formerly >>> Pentax-RIcoh Imaging (as expected).
