Pentax announced their sales are up so that's good news for all those
K-Mount users. What's making Pentax stick around while others have been

While I think Popular Photography is horrid, Keppler has a good article on
VF's in dSLR's and ranks Pentax as a great finder.

Sigma makes great glass, but lens bodies are just okay.
