Well, Paul, I ~do~ think there is a slight mechanical difference, although it is not, for me, overly significant (even though, as I understand and believe, it is a ~very~ important difference to a few of our screwmount MF users). I am "guilty" of believing that a nice early-K lens is "good enough" for me - <g>. However, I do think you make a good point about the focus ring shape and texture - those scalloped rings are indeed really nice on the fingers, aren't they? - <g> Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
