Putting a simple $5 part back into the current DSLRs Is not something impossible like FD or M42 DSLRS which use totally different very old lens Mount. Why are you so sure its gone forever? Its too early to tell because pentax hasn't Really put out a high end DSLR like canon's Top models. jco

The big difference between Canon and Pentax regarding this is that it's recent history with Pentax. That and they didn't make it impossible to use K/M lenses. Thats a big plus, especially considering that their intention with the istD was to pretty much ignore K/M lenses as obsolete. The aperture simulator is gone. Get over it.
