Yes, Henry, only the good reasoning convinces me and all other colleagues here. If this really works, and there should be no reason to doubt it, it will free up many design restrictions camera designers were facing, enabling more innovative products. Hope Pentax innovations are coming back and they are beginning to implement many of the past patents and innovations. Thanks, Ken
