Only if they have an adapter that allows full use of K-mount lenses (or, at least, as much functionality as on the current DSLRs). Note that with DA lenses this would require a mechanical coupling to stop down the lens - there's no aperture ring on the lens itself. This capability would probably have to be provided by the adapter; I'd expect any totally new lens range to use a fully-electronic interface to the body - aperture and focus both implemented using in-lens motors. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
