Here is YOUR STATEMENT that my reply below was in resonse to: 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 WILLIAM ROBB WROTE:
The most important factor is lens usability for THE MAJORITY of users. For most users, this means programmed exposure automation and autofocus, neither of which are supported, or supportable, by K/M lenses.

But NO AE is possible at all with these crippled mount DSLRs with K/M lenses so how can you say PROGRAMMED AE is a most important lens usablity factor and then at the same time argue that NO AE AT ALL with K/M lenses without any compatabiliy issues isnt important loss of lens-camera function? Is that simple enough for you to see the GROSS contradiction??? And don't even think about trying to argue that if you cant get PROGRAMMED AE with a KM lens then there is no point in regular AE so it can be tossed aside without any real loss of fucntion or "USABILITY" because the K/M lenses were all designed for open aperture metering and open aperture AE functions for a reason, it's a good feature for some situations where you need or want it.
