rings on lenses.
REPLY:
But the new D FA lenses have aperture rings. We do not know if Pentax will
maintain mechanical couplings on high end bodies because such DSLR bodies
haven't been released yet. The KAF3 mount give full backward compatibility.
We will know when the new "D" is released. Remember that all the *ist's are
entry level cameras in Pentax talk (see the latest interview where it is
mentioned again) and therefore aren't full featured. Extensive compatibility
may be a sales issue for an upper end body.
