READ THE THREAD AGAIN- your memory is short. and regarding the questionable decisions regarding product support- If you want to prove they did something questionable it highly unlikely that they would publish it or even internally document these kind of things. In other words, the official reason for their position isnt the REAL reason. Its way too easy to disguise. I saw it all the time where I worked at two different electronics companies. It can be as simple as saying its part of long term product structure plan and then have no real intention of ever doing that plan, it later dies for some other "unanticipated" market reason... They would never openly document questionable ethics... jco

All I am asking is that you point me towards some sort of official corporate documentation listing these questionable reasons. Your reasons don't really concern me, but you have clearly stated that Pentax has chosen to not support key functions on the K/M lenses for reasons that remain questionable, at best. What are these reasons? It's OK for you to find them questionable, I don't mind, I'm just curious to know. I might find them questionable as wll. It's possible. > > So exactly what kind of hard evidence > you suggest I provide you?

I'm not making any contentions at all, other than that green button AE is, in fact, AE, and this level of K/M support is a non issue for me, and from what I have read, most users. William Robb
