I can't speak for other people. I have no interest in buying more than I already have unless one comes along that is historically significant. I would buy it then for its sentimental value. It is my opinion that those lenses offer very little functional value with modern cameras. > Secondly you ONCE AGAIN have not responded > to my second point, WHY DOES THE K/M > GREEN BUTTON PATCH EXIST?

I suppose the patch exists because Pentax wanted to provide a few Luddites with a means to continue using their obsolete lenses and they could do so without compromising their future plans for the lens mount. > Thirdly, you say you want newer lenses to > take advantages of the CAMERAS capabilities. > What about wanting CAMERAS that take advantage > of the LENSES capabilties???? I want lenses that have capabilities. When I look at those old lenses all I see are incapabilities. > These components > work together as a system.

Those lenses can't do lots of things including autofocus. That's bad. That's why they're not suitable for new cameras. It is your opinion that the bodies can't support the lenses because of a few cheap parts. You're supreme arrogance is preventing you from considering any other possibility. I don't want to try to do AE with K/M lenses. I'd rather try it with new modern lens designs. Tom Reese
