I've never 'accidentally' detached a lens from the body with the K- mount.
However, I have often noticed that changing lenses with the Pentax mount seems to be a little slower than changing lenses on my Nikon or Canon SLRs was. I find I have to change hand positions on the lenses and body more due to the location of the release button and the index mark, which slows things down. I often need to find somewhere to put the lens or body down too, which I don't recall having to do so much with either Nikon or Canon bayonet mounts. It's not that big a deal, I don't change lenses as often as a photojourno probably did in the late '60s-early '70s, and don't have use a case that is set up for fast lens changes either. Perhaps that's the bottom line... a case that allowed a quick place to drop the lens you're taking off safely and pick up the lens you're fitting would speed up changes and minimize the juggling act. Hmm I might have to design something ... ;-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
