What turned me off are dark viewfinders; Pentax Spotmatic and Mamiya C330. Bad facial colors and small rear digital screen; D70s. Lenses that were unpredictably soft on the edges; 12-24 F4 G. Lenses that had flare and ruined my pics; 18-70 F3.5-4.5 AFS, 35-105 F3.5-4.5 AFD, 24-85 F2.8-4, 50mm F1.4 AFD, 50mm F1.8 AFD. I will be replacing my 35 F2 AFD with the new 50mm F1.8 G because the new 50 has no flare and is sharper.
