I can remember the discussions back when the PZ lenses where introduced, the most likely cause for a totally different 'style' of contacts is that the ones on the bayonet itself could not handle the current required ... There is also the issue of those contacts being shorted fairly easy, which is no problem for the 'info' type contacts but is somewhat of a challenge for power contacts :-) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
