I have never said that Pentax has abandoned K/M. Your saying I did only shows that you are a functional illiterate, in that you cannot read and comprehend written English. You have been saying that Pentax has abandoned the K/M series, which is a false statement to make. If you repeat it often enough, people may start calling you a liar. The literature from Pentax indicates that K/M lenses are still usable on the newest camera (the K10). Please note, I think for the third time, but perhaps the second: The EOS mount had to be produced. This did not mean that the EOS mount couldn't have been made to accomodate the FD mount. Pentax managed it with the K-mount when they dropped the M42 mount. Nor does it mean that they couldn't have accommodated FD lens users by continuing to produce a couple of quality camera bodies in FD for a period of time. Are you to dense to figure that out? It's not a difficult concept to understand.
