How so? If they design the lenses and the new mount to be compatible,
it adds an option not subtracts one.

There are a few of us who couldn't care less about auto focus. If I
want ultrasonic motors in my lenses I know which brand to buy. If
Pentax goes that way, I see it as having yet one less option
available.

OTOH, I do not believe Pentax abandoned FF lenses altogether. We
still need
fast tele (200/2.8, 300/2.8 etc etc) and I just cannot imagine,
Pentax
being so well recognized as a superb lens maker as well, simply
drop out of
normal lens biz. I think the recent lens road map is really for
the digital
compatibility particularly on the wider end.
Well Ken, if my (quite reliable) source of Pentax information is
right -
then new DA f2.8 lenses will have built-in AF motor (I guess
ultrasonic one)
and that would be a reason to change whole line of long lenses ;-)
