Since the majority of the SLR users are Canon users, especially the REBEL crowd, they don't even know what an aperture ring is. So why would Pentax want to go to additional cost to confuse them?
We should all be blaming Canon for starting the trend of no aperture ring. If they weren't so wildly successful, Nikon and Pentax wouldn't be following along. <somewhat tongue-in-cheek> Bruce Friday, June 6, 2003, 6:27:12 PM, you wrote: RS> On 6 Jun 2003 at 10:39, Peter Jansen wrote: >> I could be wrong but I don't think that there will be >> a flood of FAJ lenses.
