Ya, Rob. Pentax and Nikon have kicked their users in the shins. Canon on the other hand cut their users feet off. If you had had a bunch of FD lenses you would not have forgiven Canon yet.

I know we've been through it before but I find the lack of functionality using older lenses a pain. The fact that there is no aperture feedback coupling and other restrictions reeks of a ploy to ensure new lens sales, no less. It can't be compared it to the Canon system, they offer so much more and are honest to their users. The transition to EOS mount was not executed in a clandestine manner.
