Why don't you care if the products you buy today Arent supported in 1, 2, 5, 10 years if they Are still in perfect operating condtion? Its B.S. Lenses are long life products, unlike bodies, especially Todays bodies. It sucks what they are doing and may Do since their support policy has gone out the window. jco

But here is the difference between you and me: I DON'T CARE! I sold all my K/M lenses when I bought the *ist D and replaced them with A, F or FA versions. The fact that I sold all that and now use the EOS system is irrelevant. Like I said before, Pentax is finally producing a competitive camera and is finally interested in producing lenses I'm interested in. will they abandon this type of mount and screw us all into buying even more lenses? Come on. What are you insane? They have clearly demonstrated a direction they wish to go and are pursuing it with actual products. By your logic, Canon or Nikon could screw all their "loyal" customers and change their mounts to, as you put it, "get you to rebuy again for no reason." That's crazy, paranoid, conspiracy theory talk and sinks your entire argument. No one can take you seriously. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net J. C.
