By the way you sound like a dissappointed ex Pentaxian.

I've heard the same from other brands' fanboys... the ferocity with which one is attacking another, "vulnerable" brand is easily recognizable - it's called Othering.

It makes no sense to assume Pentax asked Tamron to customize a lens in order to make it worse. But hey, anything goes!

theCameraVille is not a trustful source. Not even when he's praising Pentax. Too unscientific in his "tests", too volatile in his evaluations.
Combined with an annoying presentation style.

 The Panasonic SH1 has an EVF of 5.76 million dots !

That is still presenting a less than 2MP "JPEG" out of the sensor's 24MP.
It's by no means bad, but when we're splitting hairs about some technology's limitations we should do this for the other technology, too
