NOT QUITE - Pentax themselves are touting how their NEW DSLR cameras can use MILLIONS of old PK lenses. Its really moronic or shady IMHO. Its like they want to sell new bodies by lying about the old lenses, and they want to sell new lenses by disabling the older ones at the same time. All over a missing $5 assembly. ($50 retail).

One person thinks Pentax should implement a feature to make it easy to use old lenses with full compatibility. That would make sense if Pentax was in the business of selling used lenses. Since they are in the business of selling new lenses, planned obsolescence of features used on old lenses is a very sound business decision. This insures that they will continue to sell new lenses, at least until enough time has passed to obsolete them all with something newer.
