the people with many pre-A lenses that are interested in a DSLR for right
now are a tiny number of people. the software fix satisfied most of them.
spending a lot of money to satisfy a few hundred of people is a waste of
money. with Pentax looking now to lose money on the Imaging Product division
this coming year, that will be 3 out of 4 years in the red for the division.
you won't get one because you can't push a green button once in a while.
your loss.

The answer is Pentax is screwing the very people
most likely to buy a PENTAX DSLR, those that already
had plenty of Pentax lenses. If I was starting from scratch
I would go Canon, not pentax. the only reason to go
pentax is legacy product support which they arent doing.
