How could Pentax convince Tamron and Sigma to offfer their lenses in K mount if they deliberately prevented customers from getting their hands on a camera?
And on a side note, why would Pentax want to force Sigma and Tamron to offer lenses in K-mount? People will only buy more Pentax lenses that way.
Especially Sigma who make the own camera bodies.
Stop making sense, it's a stoning offence on this forum. Better put on your riot gear.
It never seems to occur to people, only Pentax lenses are manufactured and designed for Pentax cameras. If Sigma or Tamron lens work well, it's an accident. I'm sure their design considerations were more about how they work with Canon gear, for maybe Canon and Nikon. You'll be able to tell who they design for by who they sell the most lenses to.
