My first thought: "Pentax must have gone completely mad. How am I going to set the aperture after I have manually focused with my manual-focus camera?!?" My second thought: "The AFJ lenses must have a mount that acts as if the aperture ring is permanently in the A position. So the lenses should be usable in P and Tv modes on the A- and P-series bodies." While this is not fatal, the K-mount loses its strongest selling point --- the compatibility of new and old equipment. I can see major headaches coming when I try to explain on the KMP which camera works with which lens in which mode... Cheers, Boz
