Obviously, Pentax needs to jump into this as early as they can and
try to lobby the others to make sure the mount is designed in such
a way that there can be a K->digital adaptor. I'm betting that the
diameter will be much smaller than a K mount, but if the (uh ...
distance from flange to sensor ... "registration"?) is the right
distance, maybe it could still be done?
Most people would want the more compact digital-specific lenses to
go with a compact digital camera, but providing the _option_ of
continuing to use one's existing lenses (and maintaining the
legendary Pentax lens compatability) would be a Really Nice Touch.
Hey, would Auto-110 lenses work? ;-)
