Hi Pal, This *cannot* be true: the pics on a Taiwanese website go against this very idea!!!
:-) Cotty PS: of course this is extremely likely, based on what we have learned over the months and weeks. Did your source re-confirm K mount compatibility? Although this has always been pointed to as a given. I'll bet Pentax would *love* to design a smaller system along the OlyDak lines, with a new range if lenses. Consolidate everything, skim down to just a few main lines of gear. But a new chassis supporting both 35 mil and digi would owe its imaging functions to the film side. They couldn't size it downwards for digi and still have a film body(s) could they? Very interesting - I look forward to PMA with anticipation. >Not everybody have been convinced about a new platform for Pentax 35mm slr >and digital >slr.
