They already stock two of the FAJ lenses. They are really cheap. They are obviously targeted to the entry level market. They are about offering cheap camera kits. > On the list was the argument, that the with the use of the aperture > ring only at the MZ-S, the aperture is more accurate.

The *ists are a different camera generation compared to the PZ-1, so I would expect higher accuracy. > Pentax is just sacrifing its best argument for buying Pentax without > any > technical advantage, the compabiltity. > I think this is irrelevant for new users. They would have to pay for something they won't ever use. Still I think expensive stuff will support the aperture ring, similar as the expensive Nikon gear does. > regards > Rüdiger Enjoy, Alexander __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
