If Pentax do produce a DSLR with image stabilization I would really like
to be able to use it with my A300/2.8 and all of my TCs
Oh, I see the user benefit. I'm just not sure if it's a) a reasonable
expectation, and b) makes business sense. Is backward compatibility really
the USP we think it is?
so dialling in a FL manually
even if it's a range would be better than nothing.
I'd make a user-configurable list with lens name, focal length and max.
aperture. Simply input your (most used) MF lenses once, and select when
mounting to provide the body with usefull information. Could be used to
further tune-up the 'green button' routine as well...
