Do you really want a mechanical linkage in the shutter area of a camera that is extremely sensitive to the least bit of dust? Do any other digital cameras have a mechanical stopdown linkage? I'm not sure that your educated guess is based on sufficient education. Then again, I could be wrong. But it's all guesswork on our part. I'm still grateful that we have at least fifty years worth of Pentax lenses to choose from.

So far as you know, you mean.
Unless you sat in on production engineering meetings that approved all
changes before the final design was complete, how can you possibly that? I
suggest you don't. All these hard and fast pronouncements of "fact" are little
more then educated suppositions. Good ones, but... Might be true, right? Then
again, might not... hmmm.

I'm as sure it doesn't need film as I'm sure that there was no technical
impediment to implementing the feedback mech. Sure it's an educated guess but
I'm educated.
