There were some pretty mad Canon users, no matter why the mount changed. And those old FD lenses have pretty much been rendered obsolete. The old Pentax lenses can still take fine pictures on modern equipment. Life is too short to wear too tight underwear all the time. If you really want to shoot with a DSLR using your old Pentax lenses, then pick up a Pentax DSLR and take pictures. Lots of people do that very thing. If you don't want to use a DSLR with your old Pentax glass, then don't. I doubt if anyone is going to come to your house and hold a gun to your head to force it upon you. This forum is probably the worst place for you to vent your spleen all over the issue. If Pentax does, in fact, read what we whine about, then what they are reading is one guy all pissfaced about compatability, a couple of guys who agree, but got on with life, and a whole bunch of users who consider it a non issue. Every time it comes up, that it is a non issue gets reinforced again. In other words, you are not helping your own cause, or the cause of the people who would like reinstatement of the aperture simulator, but aren't losing their minds about it.
