This is absurd. Please give it a rest. You cannot be serious if you honestly Think that K/M lenses are not losing Features with these DSLR bodies.
And they are fundamental features Too like full range WIDE OPEN Metering, continous AE, compensation For exposure factors like variable Aperture zooms, macro extensions, etc. Just because the newer lenses have AF or what other added automations Does not mean its OK to just throw Away whatever automation the earlier Lenses feature. In fact if automation Is what makes the newer lenses "modern", then why make K/M lenses LESS modern than they already are? You keep making the same dumb contradictory Argument over and over. You claim the Old lenses are outdated due to the newer Lenses automations and then go on To say that the automation the old Lenses have lost doesn't matter. That is a major contradiction And it just goes on and on and on from You and some others. That is a Really dumb argument. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 12:01 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: The JCO survey ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

There is a lot of automation that isn't supported by K/M lenses. I know you don't understand that, but it's true. Besides, K/M lenses still work as auto exposure lenses with the DSLR cameras. I know you don't understand that either, but it's true. My mentor told me that a closed mind gathers no thoughts. You are a classic example of what he was talking about.
