Yes, and it seems that Pentax has just thrown the gauntlet before C/N/M. OK, so be it. If it means there will be the MZ-5n/3 successor, IS/USM, more FA*'s, Limiteds and FA lenses of the built quality *at least* matching the FA 24-90, then I can live with that and most probably accept and enjoy. I'm not going to get rid of my Super A, so my plain K-mount lenses will not collect dust. If the compatibility with KA-lenses is maintained then it will still be more than the competition offers. But if Pentax fails to provide the current and potential costomers with sufficient excuses for abandoning the K-mount compatibility then... Regards Artur
