Secondly I do not see Pentax happy with the idea of Samsung running
away with Pentax customers so Pentax probably asked nicely Samsung not
to do it (if Samsung really even dared thinking
They've already licensed it, and a G10 knockoff isn't going to gain
Samsung a lot of market share that they didn't have already.

Simple fallacy here, you don't have electronic lenses. You have
mechanically-coupled lenses with electronic meter coupling that you're
adapting to a pure electronic mount.
The stop-down mechanism would be fairly complex, mostly due to size
limitations. You could include it (and someday somebody

Did Samsung just (re)invent the aperture ring?
They just reinvented the manual
Electrically compatible is simple. But K mount isn't functionally
electrically coupled. It's a mechanical mount with a few electrical
fatures added on to make meter coupling easier. You need a mechanical

Let's see, your building a lens adapter, you have electronic lenses.
For $100.00 I'd think you could include a micro motor and a chip to tell
it how far to move, /if/ it could read the lens and communicate with the
camera. I guess they couldn't be bothered, electronics are so expensive

no, the adaptor has a mechanical internal aperture simulator and the
aperture blades come in two versions, cormorant beak and cormorant
