YOU are an idiot. You cant see the forest For the trees. Canon made a bold move into The future with the EOS mount and its part Of the reason they are on top of the SLR World right now. It wasn't done only to "Screw FD owners" like you state. Pentax is the one screwing their customers on the K/M thingy. jco

You can say it a dozen more times if you like, it's still wrong. Canon chose to drop FD lens support as part of their marketing plan. Pentax has done the same thing in relation to K/M. The difference for the end user is that if you own a collection of FD lenses you are completely screwed, whereas if you wish to use K/M lenses, you have the option of using them.
