It makes less sense to me from an economic perspective than an technical perspective and that's pretty poor too IMHO. Maybe this consortium believe that we as consumers are now so conditioned to change and the concepts of redundancy and upgrade that they think that something like this will work? If this new technology is targeted towards any buyers other than traditional non-PnS users then it's misdirected, no new (ex film PnS) digital camera buy is going to want to have to change lenses ever, they will want an all purpose zoom and non of this lens changing crap. I can only guess that the majority of interchangeable lens camera owners will be alienated via this technology. I still envisage shooting film alongside digital for a while to come, lets face it they hardly replace each other, surely most photographers have similar expectations? I don't want to be carrying two sets of glass, I just want a damn K mount digital body. :-( Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
