Actually they had their share (don't know if you were here by then). People still find it hard to believe FAJ is the future - maybe because the first incarnations are cheap consumer grade. But it's obvious Pentax stripped the aperture ring for good. We'll see FA/FA* around for a while, not necessarily to support "classic" bodies like MZ-S and MZ-5n, but simply because Pentax was always slow to replace their lens line. Servus, Alin
