Re: A farewell to Pentax

I'm with BobORama... There shouldn't be any backlash for "branching out."  I mean, as one who was loving Pentax since my Spotmatic F, one has to see the decline over the years. I purchased a Sony last Christmas but, I took my Pentax K5-IIs on a long hike in the Alaskan outback several weeks ago because it filled the WR niche that I was walking into.

There's a guy who posts in this forum whose initially reaction is combative if anyone besmirches Pentax gear.  Such is the risk for the impersonal nature of online posting. As for myself, I actually felt like I was cheating on the Pentax brand when I bought my Sony. I'm so glad I'm over that and, what relief it's been.

There are many things that I like about Pentax and a growing number of things that I like about the brand and model of camera that I recently purchased.  Since I've purchased the other brand, I still frequent this forum but rarely post. I've never been to the Sony forum and don't plan to.
