Pentax makes good cameras and good glass�in the normal course of events people who value that will continue to buy from them. But Pentax only puts bread and butter on the table _today_ when people are buying _current_ retail product. What benefit does Pentax receive from backward compatibility? Is it worth the loss of revenue that comes from always competing against its own products�especially when those products always have an unbeatable price advantage? Throw in having to compete against new offerings from Canon, Nikon, Minolta, among others, and it's a formidable field! Dan Scott (btw, nice to have a civil, non-whiney exchange to participate in!)
