OK MISTER BIG MOUTH- If you actuall had a first hand experience with intelligence, and if you actually read the thread like I suggested I already address this in detail. K/M lenses werent designed for digital, they were designed for film. TRUE-
BUT, So were the A lenses, the F lenses and pesumably nearly ALL the PK lenses until very recently. So if K/M are no good for digital because they were designed for film than neither are the A and the F and the FA etc. And then comes the final blow. IF all these PENTAX brand lenses arent really any good for digital because they were designed for film - THEN WHY BUY the pentax DSLR at all? You have zero point. There is nothing to suggest the later lense series are any better on digital than the K series. Some of them I am sure are worse.. jco -----Original Message----- From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 11:44 AM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: Camera engineering (was Re: Rename request) ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

Their imaging properties quite often just don't cut it with DSLR sensors. Thats a fact of life, and it renders many otherwise fine lenses unuable and therefore obsolete for digital applications. You'd know this if you had first hand expereince rather than a big mouth. William Robb
