The best info I have been able to glean is a manufacturing cost of about US$35.00 per body sold. What that would do to the retail price, and if the price increase would dissuade more people from buying than the increase in compatability would persuade people to buy is, of course, the real question. Pentax seems to think they know what the answer is. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
