Re: J Focus Collar (was Re: More Pentax news/rumors (Now taking apoll))

Me to Joe. None of us is ever likely to but a lens like an FAJ - are we? 
 I certainly wouldn't be interested in anything that I can't use on my 
LX. Although the J should work on any of the z/pz or mz series cameras. 
I suppose Pentax are just following the pack, as N***N have released 
aperture ring-less lenses of late - squarely aimed at enthusiasts. I 
think a couple of them even had plastic or polycarbonate lens mounts 
from memory

Cheers

For that matter, would photographers serious enough to buy the digital 
slr want it with a J lens?

I sincerely hope Pentax succeeds, but their reasoning elused me.
