Good grief! How is possible to react in the way cited below to the fact that Pentax release two bottom level lenses? We had the same sort of reaction when they released the first plastic mount lenses. Suddenly all Pentax lenses would use plastic mounts! Pentax is just releasing the same crap as the competition. Those who buy these lenses don't give a damned about lens compatibilty. The rest don't care either as they would never buy any of them. This is a non issue!
