I'm not sure that protecting new lens sales by prohibiting open aperature metering for K and P lenses makes sense. Most people I know with AF cameras WANT AF lenses, and some, like my ex wife, can no longer reliably perform manual focus (eye problems). But IF the K1D is produced and IF it is a flagship, my suspicion is that Pentax will sell more bodies with true K/M lens compatibility without impacting modern AF lens sales. If anything, I suspect they'll sell more modern lenses, especially super wide angle..
BTW, I'm collecting names of all who have responded to the survey, whether Aye, Don't Give A Fig, or Nay. I'm hoping to email and snail mail Pentax USA and Pentax Japan results. Be prepared for a Survey Part Deaux........ Love you bunch of K-mount fools. -Lon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
