Pentax, is very good. I'm Happy for you. I'm retired, you know, fixed income and all that, But I'm livin the life of "Riley" as they used to say, with 3 fabulous Pentax "DSLRs and a bevy of PENTAX lenses... It's all about the lenses, and I think Pentax glass is as good as any. Compare to canikon, PRICE-WISE.. I would never have gotten the Range of lenses that I have in Pentax, buying CANIKON.. Enjoy your pentax..... Now do you hafta move over to the "pentax forums" ??

it was pentax that got me started in the first place as a kid, ''bloody spotmatic'' as my mother would say. i badgered and badgered to get that camera :) i too think pentax glass is some the best around. i still make a lot of use of takumar.

Impressive looking camera, some reviews about this camera are calling it the best medium format camera ever.

For me, it was a 13 month "Vacation"? to VietNam provided (free-of-charge) By the Us gobment, That got me into Pentax cameras and lenses. My "Spotmatic" was just swell. I only got two lenses at the time, A 50mm f1.4 and a 200mm telephoto. I shot a lot of pics with all that, untill about 1988, when I sold it (too cheaply) to a sail-boater that I used to race with. I raced "with" him, not against him, and the first couple of seasons on board, I was only allowed to bring the captain his beers, and take a few pictures. I ultimately got to snuff headsails and haul up spinnakers, that's when I sold him(did I say "CHEAPLY?) my pentax gear. I'm using strictly Pentax stuff, again, after a brief relationship with canon, that ended when I couldnt bring myself to spend that kind of money on their great lenses, and I tired of the low quality of their KIT-quality, kit lenses..

Reminds me of my format envy days. It was first on my affordability list because I loved my ME and the lenses.
