The capture has nothing to do with the lensmount.
Huh?
There are no new lenses or lens features on
this camera.
No, there are LESS features on this camera (the *ist-D or the -DS.) That's what we're 'discussing.'
They don't accomodate the mechanical portion of the lens/body linkage, that operates the open aperture metering lever.
Why do you propose that it being a digital camera prevented the K/M support when there is nothing new going on with regard to the cameras lens mount, just part of it is missing. Sorely missing.
Maybe it's "missing" because there's some interference somewhere in teh digital. Maybe they can't shoehorn that old style mechanical mechanism in the new body. Heck, I don't know. Do you?
