Re: New Pentax body from Cosina

[Antonio Aparicio]

You may be joking but I think it is only a matter of time (years) 
before Cosina or someone else does just that. Certainly a digital 
k-mount body would sell really well I think, particularly as Pentax 
themselves seem intent on either ignoring their own manual focus 
k-mount clients, or treating them as an after thought as on the *istD.

Or better still a digital SLR body with different, interchangeable lens 
mounts so you can use it with Nikon, Pentax and Canon lenses.

I don't understand the reason for this - Cosina's recent cameras have

filling a niche - affordable Leica screw and M-mount cameras, a

features.
The only reasoning I can see is that they have been listening to JCO 
and it's
the prelude to a digital screw/k-mount hybrid SLR :-)
