Buy all new lenses when all you needed was about a $10 part( in a $1500 camera) and a few lines of code? Totally absurd. Should perfectly good ( in some ways better) lenses KM lenses just be scrapped? I would think not.
Lenses are not like bodies. They dont wear out nearly as fast. New bodies that dont support the superb and sometimes expensive or impossible to replace K/Ms for no good reason is not right at all in a $1500 camera...It could have been so much better if they had done it right.....And I dont think alienating their long time buyers is a very smart thing to do myself... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.

I saw a problem a few months ago. Now I don't see a problem. Other than buying a couple of new lenses. No problem at all. For the record, over 1/3 of my lenses are non A types. William Robb
