Both Minolta and canon had AF well before
Pentax did and that may have a major reason why
pentax lost market share, I don't know, but that's why I said
millions of K/M lenses.....
Nope. Canon released AF about the same time as Pentax (1987). Pentax was
inndeed firts of all with AF in 1981 (ME-F) but there was only one lens...
Sadly, AF was where Pentax fell off the wagon. The Minolta and Canon AF
cameras far outclassed the Pentax's of the day.
