Boz, If the "evolution" of the K-mount is a fact of a matter, why not to introduce all necessary changes to it already now (to support IS/USM etc.)? Changing the mount gradually is like cutting dog's tail piece by piece. Look @ Canon - they did it one day and no visible changes anymore for almost 20 years. Waiting, waiting, always waiting... Wasn't it the reason, why you have moved towards Canon, BTW? :) I now have 2 systems too - P. & C. And can compare both. I can live without eye-control and with just one (properly working) focusing point. But after trying USM and IS I want to see those features in Pentax too. Sorry to say it, but if Pentax is going to delay those things, I would be forced to invest my money into expansion of Canon system :(. And I know for sure that I will not need to buy a new body if I buy a new lens. Val
