It is pity that Pentax made a decision for ourselves. Even I have mostly A,
F and FA lenses, I still want to use my older (pre-A) ones with a digital
body. I believe they could be a good combination with all-metal *ist D.

and USM. Putting this together with the new "crap" KAF?-mount, it seems that
Pentax may loose some of their customers (who are tired of waiting for
camera THEY WANT and with features THEY WANT).
