First, magazines hammered Pentax because they were slow going to a bayonet mount - IIRC, every review of pre-bayonet lenses in the years after "everybody else" had gone bayonet mentioned the "slow lens change problem". Then when the bayonet mount came out, the criticisms went to "you've obsoleted all our lenses"!
A no-win situation for Pentax, even though they had provided a way to use the screw-mounts with the K-adaptor....
