That's the take I got from the DPreview article and the pentax press
release.  Based on what's been described here as to how the lenses would
work, that's fine with me.  I suppose that, coming from long time use of
mechanical cameras, not having transitioned to autofocus, often using old
Leicas and hand held meters, and having just acquired a 1937 Brownie-type
box camera, the "workaround" still seems like pure luxury to me <LOL>
