Is it really about bringing money to them? I thought the point is something else....
anyway lenses cost the same as the bodies, where do you think more money comes from?
Originally posted by séamuis not even close. I don't own a single AF lens.
Even if you didn't you can use all AF lenses in MF mode.... so MF is really not even close to be dead...
Just to clarify, I just find it sad that they are abandoning screw, I like SDM and it's idea, but why not to have both?...
As for the point that DAs don't work with film bodies. Some do. I think all ltds actually do...
And I don't want my K100D to magicaly transform any lens, but if lens is labeled AF I'd like it to be AF on it...
