"Can anyone think of a single valid reason why a new lens mount should be necessary? " Ask Canon or Minolta. They did such a stunt and made a lot of business sense. -- Pål Jensen <snip>....If some of you are old enough you might recall that Pentax also had to change their lens mount system in the mid to late 1970s <snip> -- Ellis Vener , June 13, 2003; 01:49 P.M. Eastern I know Len knows who Ellis is. REPLY: I believe a new Nikon lens mount may be a smart move. They can keep smaller than 35mm sensors for the their current line up + film being able to offer competitive DSLR and competing head on with Canon on price. They could then make a new system for larger CCD's; it could even be larger than 35mm and thereby beat Canon in absolute quality consistently. A new digital only system could be taylored for the its intended use; digital. Pentax is in a good position. They have three slr platform that all can be converted to digital in due course. Pål
