They sell to whomever buys it. I suppose Nikon and Canon are more cliqueey about whom they sell F5s, EOS1s and what ever the heck they are calling their digital flavour of the month? Get real, if you have the cash, they aren't checking for pro credentials at the camera counter. > > > As much as I disparage Pentax service, their medium format > > service to me has always been top drawer. > > Totally professional. > > The fact is that Pentax doesn't have "professional" MF service at all. They have service and they make no distinction between MF or 35mm gear. Professionals, however, get speeded service whether its the Z-1p or 67. All a pro really wants is expedited service in the event the equipment goes into the shop. If they are doing that for the pro, then they are giving pro service, whether they call it a pro division or not doesn't really matter. You are right about the marketing, but admit it, they are consistent across the board with it. I can't believe I just defended Pentax service,,,,,,,,, William Robb > > P�l > > >
