Don't you understand the CANON made VAST Improvements to their lensmount when they Went to EOS which caused the incompatiblity With FD whereas pentax hasnt even changed the Mount at all? (only disabled features). HUGE difference. If pentax HAD to drop K/M support in order To make DSLRS that would be one thing but they Didn't have to and still don't have to. jco
