Pentax K-mount equipment

I have photographed a lot with Pentax K-mount equipment and have been very happy with these cameras and specially lenses (Pentax primes). I have mostly photographed with slide film and the main interests have been landscapes and nature. I have always used my digital camera for photographing people since without preview of the image the flash photography just is too hard for me (with multible manual and aperture automatic flashes WITH SLIDE FILM, with single TTL flash it might have been easy enough but I wan't to use atleast 2 flashes.)

1.1.2003 I decided I want to go full digital and since Pentax has no digital SLRs on the market I decided to sell my equipment to secondhand market and start from scratch with Canon EOS system. After the cheap secondhand Pentax lenses Canon EOS lenses seem to be very very expensive (compared to new Pentax lenses they seem to have equal price), I have hoped that Pentax had made dSLR with K-mount but it didn't happen.
