Perhaps I will give more credit to Pentax now they are owned by Hoya. Personally, I am a Canon man owning an AE-1 and the 350D (Rebel XT). The same way that my friend is a Nikon guy who has never owned anything but a Nikon.
The only people that I know that are more brand loyal than Canon and Nikon people are the Pentax group. They swear by their cameras.
That's probably true. As someone pointed recently concluded, in the face of overwhelming marketing from Canon and Nikon, people who choose a Pentax camera are probably looking for something unique - something special - and that tends to inspire fierce loyalty.
