Are you surprised at my post?, if they don't offer products AND SUPPORT THEM- they wont stay in business either. Nobody is going to buy great expensive lenses that arent fully usuable in a few years only because they are just "old" according to pentax, good lenses can last decades not years....I didn't post this before, but I should have. Lens support is much different than body support. Lenses tend to be expensive, much more expensive than bodies when you buy a system of them and they last way way longer than the bodies. This is why I feel support of the K/M lenses should not have stopped in top models considering the dirt cheap cost ( virtually zero compared to the cost of the DSLR body or lenses) to continue it...Its a no brainer. I don't see how anyone can really arguably say it makes any sense to do what they did other than to force someone to buy new lenses that they really don't need if the required part had not been intentionally removed completely from all available new bodies...
