I called the earlier poster an ignorant moron Because he posted that the K/M support had Been dropped in the name of progress when there Is no progress or new feature in the mount. If you dont want open aperture metering or AE Thats you, BUT I DO WANT IT especially when it Would be so cheap to add and very feasable in A $1000 body. jco

The ones I still have I use on my *istD quite effectively. I don't need an aperture simulator. (I also have a Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 macro (the first version). It's the equal of Pentax lenses, save for the coatings. It also works fine on the *istD. I use it quite often.) I use A, DA and FA lenses as well. No problem with any of my lenses. Rage on, JCO. Tell me I'm an ignorant moron! Paul On Oct 12, 2006, at 8:50 PM, J. C.
