Re: OT: Epson R-D1

[Paul Stenquist]

Pentax K and M lens have no exposure information electronics built in. 
I don't think any camera could be more compatible with them than is the 
*ist-D. I now do almost all my work and personal shooting with the 
*ist-D and use K lenses 90& of the time. I see no reason why Cosina 
would build a Pentax mount camera. And if they did, it would probably 
function in much the same way as our *ist-D.

that "corrects" this situation.
As an owner of a Leica M4,  I am sort of glad that I didn't spend my 
hard
earn dough on the *ist D.  I really like rangefinder shooting.
