Subject: Re: Pentax Future? What's next for Pentax...
If you are all conversant with the Canon USM and Pentax body driven focus
technologies then you'd know quite simply it's not just another way to do what
Pentax does. Frankly there's nothing particularly smart or appealing about
driving lens focus from a motor in the camera body.
It makes the lenses lighter than if they carried a motor. It means that I only
have one motor to carry around instead of one per lens.
That's two appealing features for me.
I am also wondering of it additonally ensures that the mount stays the
same.
