P�l ,
As I was reading you post, it occurred to me that way back in the early
days when the oceans were forming, Pentax introduced the SMC Takumars with
provisions for open aperture metering etc. Long before the ES and Spotmatic
F. Hmmmmm...

My guess is that the rationale for this is that Pentax don't want people to
match their Limited lenses with the MZ-S. What the rationale for *that* is
anyones guess but mine is that Pentax want us to match our Limited lenses
with something else. Another possibility is that Pentax marketing is
totally without logic something that is a likely as any other
interpretation.
I know that Pentax in some markets are working on getting the chrome MZ-S.
Also, parts for black Limited lenses are available in Europe suggesting
that Pentax do indeed plan to distribute them to Europe at some stage.
