The question regarding legacy lenses is, are they going to engineer the mechanical controls for M type lens and integrate the electronic camera controls that allow aperture control without operator intervention i.e. the green button to set the meter on the K-10 cameras? Jonathan Ayers

One of the nice things about the Current aps-c line is the very nice set of available lenses designed specifically for the crop format. They'll need to move pretty fast. Not many people are going to invest in a body that only has a few current lenses available. I know, there are a bunch of old lenses on the used market that will provide limited functions. That's a nice addition to a list of current offerings. But you need to have at least a minimal catalog of two or three zooms to draw a big enough consumer base to matter. I'm sure they can partner with tamron, tokina or some third party lens maker to re-badge enough lenses to get them quickly up to speed. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 2:36 PM, Dario Bonazza <dario.bona...@virgilio.it> wrote: > Official confirmation: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQk4ZkYVzVo > > > -- > 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. -- 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. ----- No virus found in this message.
