Probably not far from the truth. As sensor design continues to improve, the need for "digital optimized" lenses will diminish to nothing and they'll want to provide additional incentive for people to buy new glass (though I expect at that point, the cameras will be ultrasonic-motor-only as far as lenses go). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
