Just rumour, at present. We won't know for sure until we see a DA* lens on the shelves (probably around March next year). Basically there seem to be two camps: "Pentax already screwed us once by taking away aperture rings, so why wouldn't they do it again?", and "Pentax have the best backwards compatibility story of any major manufacturer, so are they really likely to release lenses that don't work with a camera under a year old?" -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
