The problem I have with this is that it is at odds with Pentax naming policy where you can infer compatibility from the name of the product. It is reasonable to assume that when Pentax was about to release a new series of cameras anyway why not use a naming policy that singles out USM compatible models? If The K100D is not compatible theres no way for the customer to see which K-series cameras are compatible and which are not unless looking at the specifications. The A-lenses were compatible with the A series. The F- lenses with the "F" bodies (SFX etc..). FA lenses with the (P)Z-series, wheres the new USM lenses are compatible with only sone K-series cameras. If it is so, it is very confusing. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
