yeah, its the crippled K mount. And take a look at that dinky little focussing screen. What's the point of accepting k mount lenses if they can only be used stopped down and even if the were wide open you will have a hard time focussing on a typical AF screen. I am definitely going to pass on this one. I'm waiting for the LXD if it ever comes. BTW, If they make APS only lenses, how much is it going to cost for the 10mm, 12mm, and 15mm youre going to need to go real wide???? Ouch. JCO
