When I shot film I had an OM1 which is still fine, but so limited in function and results compared to the K20 (as you would expect with thirty years between them).

When people change brands, the gentlemanly thing to do is just to say goodbye. No reams of self-justification; no fellow-travellers joining in with talk of being (quite rightly!) consigned to the lower circles of Hell; and, especially, no threats to join future Pentax events with their garish new devices festooned like hangman's nooses round their scraggy necks.
Quite why these unfortunates wish to continue to linger around like an unpleasant odour, I do not know.
Begone, all of you! Are you really unaware that this is a Pentax forum?

One would expect them to don their best dress uniform (with sword), adjourn to a location of privacy with one round in their revolver and do the decent thing.
I understand John's sentiments, but it seems a shame to loose people who we are used to having around and may still have contributions to make.

We went to America many years ago. My sister was asked what she did and she replied that she was with the police. They asked her if she had a gun and she replied no. They looked a bit baffled for a while then offered to get her one.

The reason I asked was that we make some special bearings for rather large pumps there.
We make a 6 ton shaft float in mid air.
I was in defence electronics most of my career, and although it wasn't my first choice I lived with it as what I was doing meant they were more likely to kill the intended target with the minimum collateral damage.

Presumably after a torpedo firing, the fresh fish supply is particularly plentiful.
