I'm more inclined to go with a "not giving enough of a damn about Pentax to think it through" explanation. Your first hypothesis is unlikely; they provide profiles for better lenses than the kit lens. The second hypothesis may be true, but it gets the conditional probabilities backwards. Even if people with the kit lens are less likely to buy Lightroom, I'm sure there are more Lightroom owners who use the kit lens than, say, the DA*55 or 15/4. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
