Quote:P.S. I'm still waiting for wim to explain how only a 3rd-party lens maker can make great lenses. I hope he's talking about Zeiss (though Leica would have something to say about that...).Please don't put words in my mouth I did not use. I did not say only. Pentax never did, and nfortunately not even 3rd party manufacturers created lenses for the Pentax K-mount in longer FLs. I tried to explain what Dave tried to say, rather than your expanation of his statements.
Only Tokina used to create a fair amount of lenses for Pentax, but then, they have had a long relationship with Pentax in any case.
As mentioned, I am happy for you you are happy with pentax.
Let's keep it that way. I am happy with my Canon and MFT gear. To each their own.
Cheerio!
