Really is that what you've got?
The whole reason to buy into a system is that you can continue to use
the system, otherwise if Ricoh decides to stop producing the K mount
next week and all "Pentax" cameras will have a "New" "Improved" non
comparable lens mount, you personally will have no right to complain.
Just plunk down your cash and buy all new equipment.
Companies that do that, by the way, pretty much cease to exist, unless
they're Canon. Canon had a much larger chunk of the market mind space
than Pentax has right now.
Yes I have upgraded, and it pisses me off anyway.

would they even bother to support a user that refuses to upgrade over
several generations of DSLRs?

I keep looking at that lens thinking it's not much bigger than the 43mm
limited, and it would make a great compact walking around lens on a
K-5II.
Here's an interesting question, the collapsible Kit lens locks the K-S2
when the lens hasn't been opened to taking position, (firmware driven I
expect), how far back will a firmware fix be supplied? K10D/20D pretty
much not, they didn't add a fix for the 1.4x multiplier, but the K-5IIs
is still current, (at least as far as Ricoh Imaging USA is concerned),
will they even bother to release a firmware update for that camera?
It's really annoying for a company that prides itself on it's product's
backward compatibility to not upgrade still viable product's firmware.
You'd think that it's just marketing hype.
Wow. Talk about first world problems. So we're speculating that owners
of older Pentax cameras *might* be able to mistakenly take a photo
without (this particular one) lens being extended? Oh woe is me!
More like the general lack of support for "older" cameras in general. Hey
it's a third world problem too, Pentax sells big in China if you can believe
the interviews from DB Review and Imaging Resource.
