Well said. I don't have any lenses which will be a "problem" either but hell
I'd like to be able to use their bloody aperture rings. I bought my MZ-S for
the same reasons as yourself and now all I see is total inconsistency from
Pentax regarding operation, compatibility, delivery, body design and yes even
lens/body finish and colour. What I can't understand is how people here seem to
view these moves as positive advancement?
