It might be that Pentax will maintain compatibility on higher end KAF3 bodies. Anyway, 
one cannot really expect a company to built in expensive, mechanical compatibility for 
lenses deleted 20 years ago, particularly not in entry level bodies. And how many K 
and M lens connoisseurs are after modern, entry level AF bodies? Perhaps that was what 
the MZ-S was all about: the last chance to buy a modern AF slr that matches K and M 
lenses in built quality while maintaining the essential interfcace from that era. I 
have the MZ-S with K 18/3.5 in front of me and this lens/camera match is made in 
heaven! A smooth brick of a camera with smooth brick of a lens, but with modern 
features.
We still have the Limited lenses. They are certainly the closest thing to modern K 
lenses.
