Camera companies in general like to sell new lenses as it makes them
more money, so whilst it is possible I dont think you will find Pentax
themselves doing it but rather smaller outfits like Cosina, as they
have with the TM.

In the long run I would love a FF M42 DSLR. I do not think it
is out of the question either once the DSLR market gets more

an adapter.
Hmm, talking of which, is it that difficult to make an adapter that
can push the pin to stop the lens down? Surely the mechanism used on
K could be adapted to do so. I suppose there's some physical problem,
like the mechanism would intrude too far in to the mirror box or
something? Or is it just too expensive / too small a market.
