Olympus, Kodak, Fuji Film and Panasonic have announced that they are going to standardize digital slr's. They will try to get other companies to join. I take for granted that Pentax will be asked. The standardization include lens mount and CCD size. Lenses will be interchangeable between different makes of digital cameras. The CCD will be 13,2 X 17,6mm which is damned small. Anyway, this will give room for very compact lenses and could revolutionize super telephoto work if quality of CCD is high enough. I've always been of the opinion that the bulky 35mm format is not ideal for digital. Regardless what happens, I still believe that Pentax will support the K.mount, digital and otherwise, simply due to the fact that there are loads of lenses out there and a whole lens system in place. I hope, though, that Pentax will jump on this new digital bandwagon as well.
