It's a good old name, that's why Ricoh bought it I suppose, hope it wasn't a bad decision ;) > Stop thinking (like me) that because you've been mostly or 100% > Pentax, that you're confined to a brand. That's not true!

It's definitely not about brand for me, it's about financial resources now. Pentax suited me in the past but I'm now more demanding of my gear and the Pentax kit just doesn't make muster (and I'm not about to hand them yet more cash to experiment with a K5 II which is essentially 99.5% of the cameras that I already own). I buy Pentax bodies because they fit my lenses otherwise I would be buying something else.
