Look you can apologize all you want for pentax But I have over two dozen world class NICE manual focus Pentax PK/PKM lenses and I DONT BUY what I dont Want. I wanted K/KM support in the new top line Body, if you dont, that doesnt matter to me One Iota. ALL of the later Pentax MF lenses are Garbage including the "A" series compared to the K/M Lenses in terms of build quality and user "feel".
Gimme a friggin break with your "you dont own a pentax DSLR So you dont know what youre talking about" B.S. I never said I wouldnt buy the istD,K100,or K10 but God Damn I would buy one yesterday if it had the key features I want. Secondly I think the whole point of 35mm/DSLR Is fast work and good automation. If I have time to slow Down for every shot I would use MF/LF all the time. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shel Belinkoff Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 11:43 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: k10d and manual-aperture lenses? It's the same old song from JCO every time the subject comes up. I think we all know his view on this by now. I don't recall, but does he have a Pentax DSLR? I will say this, however, it may be easier for some to adjust to the "green button" approach than others. For example, having come from meterless cameras and using hand held meters, pushing the AEL button on the DS and, if desired, checking exposure with the DOF lever, sure makes using pre-A lenses easy. However, I still shoot more than 50% of my shots using my own exposure guide, the one that's built into my head, rather than using the meter in the camera at every shot.
