No, but it already has the software in place to do this. It just needs a firmware update giving us a menu interface to set specific lenses in memory (maybe a limit of 4 or 5 as the camera's memory can handle), and allow all to be easily resettable to defaults avoiding any possible warranty issues.

Yes, on this subject, and so have many others. I get the distinct feeling that sending requests to Pentax by dealing with their very unknowledgable & unconnected customer service staff is the surest way for any suggestions to be dismissed right away (whatever they respond).

People within Pentax, and those who know people within Pentax reading these discussion forums probably have a minuscule amount of additional clout than us writing them.

So far, from these suggestions the realized result in firmware is absolutely no additional functionality at all (except already expected things made to actually work) since 1.10. This is separate from absolutely no IQ tweaks based on comments, VPN, HPN elimination, or any IQ that is tweakable by firmware.

Nothing.


And, this when it is now apparent that the new models won't be out for a while.

So, Pentax, if we have to wait for new models, or can't afford them so soon anyway, get us excited by adding some new possible functionality, etc. to allow the waiting time to go easier. Also, "listen to your customers" as you are supposed to do more than the competition.
