My sentiments exactly. I've just finished selling off the rest of my pre-AF
Pentax lenses (keeping only the A50/2.8 Macro) since I've replaced all of
them with the newer, better performing current series offerings. Adding cost
to the package to support 20+ year old lenses is less desirable to me than
making a very fine camera with good ergonomics, responsiveness, etc.
It's been well-established (primarily by the short burst from a
troll awhile back) that it's a very minimal additional expense. I for
one, can't think of any single feature that I would like better than
full k-mount support. Without it, I doubt there will be any incentive for
me to upgrade.
