A very good point!

If the new wide angle lens is designed specially for the new Pentax D-SLR
(like Nikon's AFS12-24) for reduced image coverage, I see no point for
Pentax engineers to put an aperture ring on it, even if it is k-mount
because you won't mount it on any of the existing
that Pentax will eventually upgrade (not downgrade) their k-mount SLR
system.
I would use the word update.

Arnold. Continuing in the same vein, those which I bought new (and naturally
no longer possess):
Black MX 1983
MX Drive 1983
Battery Grip M 1983
Power Cord M 1983
200mm F2.5 K or M depending on who you believe 1983
Super A 1984
AF200T 1984
Hot Shoe Grip 1984
4P sync cord 1984
AF400T Clamp
The only Pentax products I purchased new were a pair of the late model
screens for my LX.

Don't see that happening. But worse case scenario, I would just meter
externally and shoot manually. I don't see them as shooting themselves in
the foot and not allowing at least that much control...

Hi Arnold,
So maybe it really is better not to unveil product news until
the products can really be bought.

I see lenses as way more important that bodies. Some of us have
thousands (some have tens of thousands) of $ invested in K-mount glass,
and they hope to use it as long as they breathe. If

See my previous post re. Nikon. There's no reason to assume that this
won't spread.
Pentax have the best backwards compatibility in the industry.
The fact remains that Pentax has

If the lens did have an aperture ring, it still wouldn't function as an
AF-S or VR lens, and it would still make more sense to buy the 2 touch
AF 80-200/2.8 D lens. It's the price to be paid for modernizing old lens
mounts rather than redoing the whole thing from scratch: screw me now or
screw

Paul,
A very good point. Some of us, though we are Pentaxians, are not even Pentax
customers!

That makes it easier to be a fan. I bought about $900 worth of genuine,
new Pentax gear in the last 5 years and everything but the battery grip
broke within 2 years. A little different than 24 years with a K1000 and
no trouble.
