If it cost $5 and you sell a million cameras thats five million. I personally believe that the lens mount without mechanical coupling are more suited for robotic assembly. Mechanical linkages needs precision and is probably far more expensive to manufacture I suspect. Therefore I don't think we will see a completely compatible lens mount in anything but a top-of-the-line body if at all. Personally, I find this issue trivial. Although it would have been nice with complete comaptibility with K and M lenses, Pentax after all fully support all lenses made after 1983. Thats best in business.
