Digital has also allowed those with talent to take huge volumes of photos at little or no cost, compared with film. Before digital there were plenty of people with talent who couldn't afford to take huge volumes of photos.

What has having enough wealth to be able to afford to take huge volumes of photos before digital got to do with anything???
Film was a lot cheaper than digital any how.

My first 35mm slr and 50mm lens cost me around £300 in 1988

Compared to digital

K-5 £739
50mm £250
Laptop £700
IPS secondary monitor £229
Memory cards 4 x £10 £40
Batteries £50 x 4. £200
Software lightroom £70
Total cost £2180 difference £1780 that would buy and process alot of film....

I also didnt factor in external hdd which seems to add another £100 every year as increases in size and extra storage requires more exoense...

You have to buy the lens with the body to save 500 usd, i am guessing sales are dropping more than preparation for a new body...

Whilst the Tamron is good I wouldnt put it in the same league as Pentax primes or comparable to the 16-50mm.

I had the tamron for three or four years and was constantly put off by bad reviews of the pentax. It wasnt until i bought the 16-50mm that I realised what I was missing.

Better build quality
Faster AF
Pentax colours
Weather resistance
Extra 1mm
It is razor sharp on my k-5 mkii at all focal lengths without any focus adjustment.
