The Dslr will grab new buyers, who couldn't care less for aperture rings, those of use who do would probalby get the 20-35 Fa anyway for this camera. It's a cheap decent performing lens ( we hope ) for the DSLR, Other FAJ lenses will also appear, us old hands will already have lenses for use with the beast, or so Pentax figures and won't want these new ring less lenses. BTW be happy we still have a focus ring to.
