Re: Strange statement in K-01 Preview

I'm going to be a bit of a fanboy here, and say that anyone relatively new to dslr photography with an interest in using vintage lenses would be greatly discouraged by the huge array of mounts used by Nikon - and trying to figure out what works with which body, motor or not.

Pentax has applied KiSS, and that's a huge advantage. It would be a real shame if Pentax starts leaving out screw drive (especially given the fact that SDM has been less than a rousing success). I'm fine with the Green button, as long as I can determine any exposure problems a lot faster than the time it takes to bring my "film" to ProEx.

I worried a lot more about my exposures in the days when my M lenses were new. Think of what people would have said about the MX in 1976 if it had a screen in back to confirm exposure after pressing a Green button on top. Not to mention the arrival of focus peaking.

We have it very good, and the Dpreview faux complaint creates far more confusion than clarity.
