Hmm... but Bill indicated that the K mount was better before they buggered it up... I don't think K mount has ever had the release on the other side, has it? At least none of my bodies do (admittedly I don't have a K series, only M and later) - Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
