Ok, I just looked at the Pentax web site, they say it supports K and m43 lenses but with restrictions, so unless they did a quick cut and paste from a different camera I guess at least the shutter will fire with one mounted, however I didn't see a menu item to enable use of the aperture ring on the DP review site. Oh well have to wait till someone plays with one and reports back.
