Klaus - reg. Pentax glass, just out of curiosity - is it really Pentax ot Tokina/Sigma rebranded lenses ?
Anyways, regarding the different systems, despite some awesome lenses by Oly or Pentax, etc., most of the market goes into the hands of Canon/Nikon and I think it's becouse those two systems are the most "complete" in terms of glass and ancilliaries, for any user irrelevantly of sensor size.. For me, FF format of the glass is just more of a future-proof investment and even when I owned 2 bodies (FF and DX) I decided to invest only in FF glass, weight and size issues didn't matter for me that much. Performance and a kind of future-proof purchase did <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> It's only after each trip /trekking that I curse myself for carring the 7 (or 10) kg of gear <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) That however is a seperate issue. In the lightweight league EVIL cameras will likely dominate soon and current sales growth in that segment already makes an argument there (esp. in Japan from what i've read).
