Does that make sense for you? For me I know it doesn't.
Oh, come on. Kostas gave a _very_ good argument for backward
compatibility. No need to put it down like that. As a pentax user you have
the choice to buy high quality, fast lenses for relatively little money.
That _is_ a great advantage.
To illustrate, this week I raved to a friend about the great pictures you
can take with fast lenses (and, too be honest, I also showed some pictures
where stopping a bit down would have been better...). I told him my
fastest lens was f/1,7 (an A50 which cost me €30,-). I assured him that
50mm are always fast and cheap. However, he has an EOS 350D and when I
checked I found out that the cheapest secondhand EOS 50mm is €100,- or
so...
I know I would not have bought the lenses I did buy if I had an EOS: It
would have been several times more expensive, and I'm spending too much on
lenses as it is now ;-)
