Let's take them, one by one:

• "Pentax's range of lenses is just stagnating, you can go back decades, still the same old stuff" - false. Ricoh Imaging is building a D FA lens series. And in the last two years, we've seen a "wildlife" lens - the 150-450, a D FA* - the 70-200, a new AF motor - PLM...
  
• "the plasticy DA*16-50mm F2.8" - false
  
• "SDM motors, if you don't use them regularly they stop working" - false. I would left my DA* 60-250 unused for a while, not a problem.
  
• "the slower more dated DC motors" - false. DC is faster than SDM micromotors.
  
• " Pentaxians are gagging in the forums looking for lenses, and Pentax don't give them any" - false. There are some good lenses in current production, some introduced recently, more to come.
  

Do you think it's fair to make so many false statements?

 

As for commanding "very high prices", a D FA* 600mmf/4 would likely cost 11/12k $, as with Canon's/Nikon's.

 

Seeing:

• "I felt kinda sad having left the K mount at first, but man am I glad that I did now."
  

hints that you're trying to "justify" your jumping ship. Not to be fair, but to "prove" that you were "right" to leave Pentax, because blah blah blah. Stop it. It's unneeded and unfair.
