Eyes rolling.! The abandonment of K/M aperture setting sensing has nothing to do with digital capture. They did not have to give up on K/M to do digital. If they did that would be one thing, but that is not the case. So like I said, NOTHING was gained in favor of the abandonment of K/M. Not at all like the M42 to K design change where they DID get something good in return for loss of compatibility of the old lenses: much faster lens changing. JCO
