Basing predictions for Pentax bodies on features showing up in past bodies
has not, historically, been a sure-fire strategy. A few examples:
o Pentax put a 1/8000 shutter speed and 1/250 flash sync in the PZ-1p;
features that never showed up again in any future Pentax bodies (so
far; we'll see whether this remains true later this month).
o They went back to requiring lenses with aperture rings for the MZ/ZX
(after having introduced the two-thumbwheel control model on the PZ-
series bodies). But, as the DA lenses have shown, that didn't last.
