2004: Pentax *ist D
2005: Pentax *ist DS
2006: Pentax K100D
2007: Canon EOS 5D
2009: Pentax K-m, Panasonic GF-1 (K-7 pre-order was cancelled, deposit refunded)
2010: Pentax K-x, Sony NEX-3
2011: Pentax K-r (K-5 pre-order was cancelled, deposit refunded)
And, some photos of my gear:-









So, what will be my next body? NEX-7/5N? The rumoured Canon 5D III? Or, the Pentax Q (Just!)? :-o Which one? Actually, I just don't know it myself, as I really don't have a crystal ball to tell! ;->
Besides, it is interesting to note that my Canon Full Frame 5D is the only digital camera body that could stop me from buying yet another new camera for two years long, "momentarily"!~ Indeed, no other body could "achieve" that so far! ;-p
Btw, I actually pre-ordered the K-7 back to 2009 at least one month before it was announced and also for the K-5 earlier this year with about 10% deposit money paid. But however, owing to various (unsatisfactory) performance and/or quality issues with the camera and bodies I received, I felt obliged to cancel both orders and opted to wait for the "next"! >:-( So, if I could "successfully" acquire them, I should already have had 11 digital bodies up till now, instead of 9 only. Nevertheless, do note that most of them are still Pentax ones, after all! :-o

1. You do not need any more cameras (On the Pentax side, your Kr and Kx should be able to handle what you are shooting, with the istDS going places you may worry about some destruction [retire the istD and Km - one is too old, the other too pretty])
2. Unless you are getting a NEX7, no sense getting any edition of the NEX.
3. That Canon with the 85* just looks wrong - Make it stop daddy, make it stop....

I love the 85 2.8 - I have one, and a reporter, and the DOF is beautiful. It is the perfect reincarnation of the A 85mm for AF. I debated between the A* and the FA* but decided to get the FA* because it was the same price where I was looking.
A real Pentax person would not call either 85 "boring as hell" Spitting on a 85mm 2.8 is like spitting on your mother. If it was a debate between the A 50mm 1.4 and the A 50mm 1.2, I may let it go, but you sir have stepped over the line.
