Another reason why I'm still with Pentax (and probably why several others are) is because the cost of moving to a different system would be prohibitive. Plus, in any case, I'm not planning on buying much more photographic gear; maybe one more body (either the projected eventual replacement for the K-3, or if that never shows up possibly a K-1). That would work with all my existing lenses, leaving me well covered all the way from 16mm up to 600mm. I don't really do any wide-angle or macro work, so I don't anticipate being tempted by anything extra in the lens lineup. One new body (to get a newer sensor and AF system than my current K-5) is probably going to be enough for me. About the only other option I'd consider would be switching to a 4/3 system. That would certainly be easier to carry (which becomes more important with each birthday), But getting glass as good as my DA*s and FA*s isn't cheap. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
