Ditto what Larry saud. I???m wsy too invested in Pentax glass to

As most of you know, I'm one of those who no longer use Pentax.
I had to think long and hard before abandoning the brand -
One of the things that I value about this group is that most of us are
photographers first, and the tools (or toys for some of us) we use
happen to be Pentax. That being said, there can be certain advantages
when some people decide to rehome some of their gear because they are
switching systems.
Another advantage of this list over other photo groups is that with the
median age being just barely too young to have apprenticed to Louis
Daguerre half of the traffic isn't from people who got their first DSLR
6 months ago extolling the virtues of bokeh, or manual exposure. Though
I do miss a lot of the more technical discussion and "honest
straightforward critique" of images that was a lot more prevalent when I
joined the group.
But, yeah, there are a lot of good reasons to use Pentax, not the least
of which is "It's what I already own, and it works for me". There are
also good reasons to use something else like "u 4/3 is good enough and
it's a lot easier to carry".
