NOT PROVIDING THE FUNCTION AT ALL is far worse than a long term possible or potential failure of the function that MIGHT happen, it's a guaranteed immediate point of failure. HOW MANY TIMES do I have to say this?
You don't simply remove key functions because they might fail someday, you only remove features that get too expensive for the benefit they provide and this part is so dirt cheap and provides tremendous benefit for dozens of excellent PENTAX brand K/M lenses that it shouldn't be deleted in top line $600 plus bodies at this time IMHO. jco -----Original Message----- From: Mark Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 1:43 PM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: green button wars (again) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Personally, I don't want any more moving parts in my digital SLR. >Moving parts wear.

Between the mechanical linkage and the potentiometer, it also introduces two more potential points of failure. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
