Whatever. Pentax, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony (at least) have all described their products as "interchangeable lens cameras". Wikipedia says "ILC may refer to: Interchangeable Lens Camera, a class of camera that comprise Single-lens reflex camera, Digital single-lens reflex camera, Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera and some Rangefinder camera." If you want to conclude, from your own certainty in what the abbreviation *should* stand for, that the new lens won't work on DSLRs, be my guest, but that seems like a hell of a leap. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
