As to your inquiry why I'm selling all of my gear, I think there are two key reasons.
Mostly, I'm tired of the recurring rumors about Pentax gear, that get
picked up and rebroadcast as facts, so that they can be rebroadcast as
rumors, and then as facts sighting the facts as rumors, and then rumors
spring out of the facts, over and over.
Additionally, I'm finding that the Pentax Q
is where the future is at. Small, Light, and I can attach a 25mm/0.85
lens to it and have every bit the unique look. I think the quality of my
images has nothing if not skyrocketed since I started with the Q."
So, the two reasons are 1: there are too many rumours about new Pentax stuff but those are not materialised; 2. The Pentax Q and system is really small enough and this is the future of Pentax (So, the K-mount gear should be aborted?)!?
This Pentax user, if is not kidding, is really funny enough IMHO. Either he is just not honest and brave enough to tell the true reason to sell all of his expensive Pentax stuff and has planned to switch, i.e., he thinks that there is no future of Pentax and it's better to leave now! >:-o

It seems that bigotry killed common sense. That is really sad. I feel sorry for you.
Maybe you can take vacation for some weeks from everything which is Pentax related.

You are amazing. You even jump on a obvious joke to attack pentax. do you really have a job outside of this Blog.

K-5 - $500 each
K-01 - $200 max
26 lenses - average $1500 each - $39000
Yes I know some are worth more but some are not. Even at $2K each the total comes in at less than $60,000. That means he is putting a value of nearly $5000 per lens on average. I count 8 that can be bought new for less than $1000 and two more less than $2000 leaving more than $38,000 to spread over the remaining 16 and pushing their average value past to $7000 each.
Like I said, if he can get someone to pay that much, he is one smart dude.

you can sometimes find his grudge against pentax kinda boring, (as i do sometimes) but if you can't stand what you reads here, just leave the place, but no need to be so mad at Rice that you just think he's bare stupid...
I guess he's making fun of that 1st april joke by forwarding it there, nothing else.
