I used to have very mixed feelings about Pentax (much like Caveman) when I was pursuing 35mm. I was trying to get the best quality I could in lenses and bodies but my pictures didn't show that much difference. Once I crossed over to medium format (thanks to some much needed encouragement and information from some PDML'ers) the whole Pentax world changed for me. My local camera shop carries Pentax MF along with all their Nikon stuff. The quality of manual focus lenses was high like in the old K mount days. My picture quality has gone up tremendously. I don't get condescending looks from Canon/Nikon shooters when I pull out that big 67II. The lens line is extensive for medium format. I no longer have this driving urge to "need" what Nikon and Canon 35mm offer. I have found that I am actually enjoying my 35mm shooting more now than I was before moving to Medium Format. I used to shoot PZ-1p's and then MZ-S's in my quest. Now I am shooting an MX and SuperProgram. Yes there is an occasional image that is harder to capture that the high tech cameras would aid with. But my contentment with what I have and am doing has increased dramatically.
