Will it work with the next Pentax lens mount flavour ? Will any of the current Pentax FA lenses, including the limiteds, work with the next Pentax lens mount flavour ? What about a new Kaf4 mount that has USM, but is not compatible with any lens that has an aperture ring ?

These are now valid questions. Since the current FA lens line is technically obsolete (shaft driven focus, no IS), one may bet that:

1) they'll never change it;
2) they will introduce new lenses with newer technology;

If you bet 1), this is a great moment to get a Canon camera.
If you bet 2), and considering the lens mount dance they're into, there's no point in buying any of their current lenses.


Either way, the conclusion is "don't buy P".

P.S. For those intending to mention the K/M lenses and how they're old and few and what a luddite caveman I am. I'm not reffering to them. I'm reffering to cameras that are incompatible with THE CURRENT FA LENS LINE, like in NOT BEING ABLE TO USE CURRENT LENS FEATURES LIKE THE APERTURE RING.

An ideal lens for the MZ-S?
Smaller, lighter, loaded with technology (LD, XR, IF...) and less expensive than the competition. Something must be wrong... Oh, it's all plastic - isn't it?


Best wishes
