Nobody said these would be the only lenses. It would give them a 'complete' lens lineup from the word go though, wouldn't it? This way they could develop new and better lenses over time rather than invest in large numbers of lenses prior to finding out if it is well received or launching a camera which nobody will buy because it has only a tiny lens lens lineup.
Although I think the talk of K-mount DSLR is correct and has been confirmed, really Pentax should and likely would be evaluating their approach to the olydak and how they can carve thir own niches elsewhere. Many industries these days (cars definitely) are becoming a mass of niches to suit every taste - perhaps that is the way the camera world will go to a degree too? > -----Original Message----- > From: tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 24 January 2003 23:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Wait and See > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: P�l Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > > > > Seems to me that Pentax apparently have a prototype of the > DSLR that > > use the old 110 lenses.
