For me, what fits best... I gave up, got rid of an entire Olympus kit, lenses and all, after I fell in love with a Pentax MG. Now I've 6 lenses and 2 Pentax bodies (my 2nd is a Spotty F) and all because it was some sort of draw. I like the feel. Controls come to hand readily and it's a smoother camera all around. For me. Now, I did like the Olympus. I had an OM-1 and an OM-2, several lenses, lots of extra gear. I left Olympus entirely for Pentax. I was quite used to it and did love the whole Olympus scene, but I like the Pentax more... I think I did the right thing! Can't adequately explain why...it seemed to be the right thing to do! keith whaley > > > I find > > it hard to believe that many people would systematically try all four > > majors brands (plus maybe Contax, etc.) to actually make a decision. > > I am fortunate enough to be able to afford whatever gear I like and as such > I've tested many alternate systems however Pentax gear simply best suites my > needs as a photographer (for 35mm SLR) > > Cheers, > > Rob Studdert > HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA > Tel +61-2-9554-4110 > UTC(GMT) +10 Hours > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
