Not even Nikon bothers with this sort of compatibility in the *ist D class and they have a old user base incredibly much larger than Pentax. Digital attracks new buyers to a large extent. I talked with Pentax reps about this about a month ago and he promptly said the market didn't exist. Theres perhaps a couple of persons in whole country that it would affect but those had lenses that was compatible anyway. Some Pentax MF users might be interested otherwise it is a completely new market. SLR sales, and Pentax in particular, is totally dominated be entry level cameras bundled with kit lenses. And although Nikon and Canon have higher end sales, miniscule compared to the volume stuff anyway, Pentax doesn't really at all in comparison. In addition, those who own older gear rarely own more than two cheap zoom lenses and their usability rarely enters the equation when doing such substantial investment as a DSLR. Nikon and Canon may have a lots of "advanced users". Pentax doesn't. Sure it is annoying for those affacted but they are minority among those who complains. Most complains for the fun of it, it seems. Pål
