Yeah, but as someone else said, that was more or less by default.
Pretty much no one else was making RF 35mm interchangeable lens

I doubt they are. I have a sunpak flash for TTL
that has a Pentax-Oly switch on it. The contacts

I was tyold a couple of time that Olympus and Pentax flash were (at least to some
