Really, I find this amazing. If Pentax comes out with a few lighter cheaper lenses than can only be used with an APS sensor, all faith will be lost in the K mount? This has no effect on the compatibility of old lenses, nor does it mean at all that all future lenses will be "digital limited", especially since they will probably have a full sized sensor and continued production of film cameras. There will just be a few "mutant" lenses, probably at the wide end.

Maybe not. "In its quest for ever higher performance combined with compact dimensions, PENTAX has been developing lenses compatible with the new PENTAX digital SLR camera." If this means lenses with limited image circles (covering the APS-sized CCD rather than full-frame 35mm), confidence in investing in K-mount lenses will go down the toilet. I tentatively think interpretation is wrong but I'll certainly not be investing any money in Pentax glass until I'm damned sure. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
