Oh, let them stew, Heiko. They're all so concerned it's the 'end of Pentax as we know it' before Pentax has actually SAID anything at all about it's intended use!
I too hope it's a misjudgement, and those lenses _are_ to be used on a new, inexpensive, yet-to-be-announced camera body. Pentax DID say they had some new bodies to release, didn't they? At least that's what has been said here onlist. So how about let's wait and see? After all this time, and you'd rather predict the demise of Pentax instead of giving them time to explain? Talk about wild projections and the sky is falling panic time... Rather typical knee-jerk response, it seems to me. :-((( keith whaley * * * Heiko Hamann wrote: > > Hi Boz, > > on 11 Feb 03 you wrote in pentax.list: > > >What a slip by Pentax USA! > > ACK. > > >So, let me be the first one to pronounce the death of the K-mount > >compatibility. :-((( > > I wouldn't go so far.
