Finally, one of the guys mentions that the new flagship model (due in
Autumn) is going to have USM. In fact, it is going to be very similar to
Canon's USM because Canon used Pentax patents... Please don't beat me here -
I am merely translating what's written there...
REPLY:Very unlikely. I suspect it is Nikons system used wholesale.Fact: The
Nikon AF system (the sensor part) is identical to Pentax and was developed
by Pentax. Speculation: Theres a trade between Nikon and Pentax. Nikon got
Pentax AF sensors and Pentax got Nikon USM lens drive system.In short, the
new Pentax will use an identical AF system to Nikons D200. Pål
