Right! If Pentax will come out with a new lens mount with lenses compatible only with the digital bodies it means I will have to buy a lot of new lenses (actually I will have to buy an entirely new camera system). If that happens, and if I want to go digital, there is really no reason why I would not switch brand and buy the system from a camera maker who makes system with compatible digital AND film camera bodies. Besides, it is only a matter of time when the imaging sensors will be full 35mm frame (and larger). With digital and film compatible lens system all I have to do is to buy yet another body (and not the whole system again) and it will take quite some time before 35mm film goes away. I have quite a lot of extremely good lenses and I hope I can still use them after everything has gone digital!
