Boy, is that a stretch. All I see them saying is that there will still be some lenses made for the 35mm market. And we've got a pretty good idea what they will be - lower-priced FA-J lenses (without the aperture ring); the rest of the quoted article strongly suggests that Pentax will continue to

Hi, you could make life a whole lot easier for yourself by selling the flashes you currently have and buying a Metz system. This uses interface modules to make the flash heads interchangeable between different camera systems. It's very good. http://www.metz.de/1_metz_2000/m_pages_english/main_inde

I'd still be concerned that even if the prongs were made to line up via an adaptor that the voltages and impedances might not match. I'd need a heck of a guaranty that this adapter was going to match that as well. Considering the value of a DSLR I would be very hesitant. A flash I might risk, but
