This is a list of whiners! They want everything, but bought Pentax because it was cheap, an economical choice with good value. Pentax has been slow to introduce a digital camera that will allow the mounting of all the old 35mm lenses that are owned by folks in this forum. Now that Pentax is close to releasing a beginner's version of such a digital camera, these same folks are whining because some of their 30 year old equipment will not be compatible. So be it, I say! I've got some great lenses and some old cameras that produce wonderful images on film. This stuff can't be replaced at today's manufacturing costs and quality levels. I'm gonna keep using it and being happy! Regards, Bob S.
