[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 69825, member: 8344"] Pentax was one of the happening companies in the 70's! Nikon was the big banana, all the pro's used it. The rest battled for position and Pentax was one of the top in the heap. Canon, Minolta and Fuji were all in the fray, leap frogging each other with new announcements. In the day, Pentax was solid, affordable, had a great array of lenses and their quality was excellent. I was never disappointed with anything I bought from Pentax. It was well advertised and well like by sales people in camera stores so I am not surprised many people started with a Pentax. Happy customers encourage their friends to buy the same brand and I know I converted many to Pentax over the years. Canon made a huge jump with the AE-1 and really shot forward with this model and massive advertising push. Eventually, they lead the way with Digital and knocked Nikon on it's butt while they were napping at the switch. I never liked the feel or the look of Canon and they were never my favourite then, nor are they today. [/QUOTE]
