The public are advised it could be unwise for amateur photographers to erect tripods in the path of the Coronation procession

There's even a Pentax User Facebook page.
It can also be a disaster when people fall out or use it irresponsibly.
It's what we make of it.

If we think about it, there are three instances at least where Pentax has delivered what forum members, at one time or another, were clamouring for.
1. There was a lot of clamour for the 645D and it eventually arrived, very competitively priced and actually with a full range of new and exisiting 645 lenses.
2. Give us a digital version of the 110 we asked, and they have, in two stages, first the I-10 tested the retro-look and 110 connection and the excellent reaction was positive. Then we got the Q, basically the full thing, as requested.
3. We asked for faster, higher spec DSLR bodies and this path has steadily led to the very fine K-5.
All this has been delivered, it costs money and R&D to do and Pentax is relatively small. Now new investment is flowing in, the ante has been upped and we await the results. The only "fly in the ointment" that I can see is that quakes and floods have damaged the supply chain and parts that may have been sourced easily may now be deleayed. This has hit everyone.
