Because it's not an either/or proposition. They could have satisfied old users without sacrificing new buyers. There are some long-time Pentax users who won't buy the DSLR if it isn't compatible with their old lenses, but there aren't any new buyers who won't buy it because it *is* compatible. And those new users would never buy significant numbers of old pre-A lenses, so there would be no loss there. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
