The Schneider lenses for the Samsung will have K mounts. The speculation is that the lens shown on the announced Samsung is actually the DA 18-55 manufactured by Pentax, but rebadged as Schneider. In fact the speculation is that the announced Samsung DSLR is actually a rebadged *ist-DL or Ds2, (probably manufactured by Pentax). ======== Thanks.
Uh. I am not really sure then, why Samsung wants to do this. Is it possible that Pentax will make no more DSLRs? Only glass? Will Pentax glass rebadged as Schneider have SMC? (Rhetorical questions, unless someone knows.) This is a tad confusing. Marnie aka Doe
