My guess is that the rationale for this is that Pentax don't want people to match their Limited lenses with the MZ-S. What the rationale for *that* is anyones guess but mine is that Pentax want us to match our Limited lenses with something else. Another possibility is that Pentax marketing is totally without logic something that is a likely as any other interpretation. I know that Pentax in some markets are working on getting the chrome MZ-S. Also, parts for black Limited lenses are available in Europe suggesting that Pentax do indeed plan to distribute them to Europe at some stage. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
