Originally posted by Blue Its not about becoming Nikon. Its about staying Pentax. I used them as an example because #1) they started out in the slr business with the F mount and still use it; and 2) it has similar dimensions including registration distance to the K-mount. Changing mounts for the sake of changing mounts would be a silly move for Pentax given the K-mount is their bread and butter at present. Likewise, it would be dumb for Nikon to make a switch. Canon got away with it because they did it in the 80s.
I can't agree more, with every word you said.
ogl, there are enough non-K mounts on the market, go and buy some; be happy, and stop nagging Pentax!
The money are in the current user base, not in adapters. Just try to make them/us buy adapters... they would jump ship, just to spite you.
By the way, one can buy K-mount adapters for NEX, 4/3, NX...

It will be the year in which people like you will keep nagging: why oh why is Pentax still making cameras and lenses for their 3 systems, instead of ditching everything and copy the NEX!
