Don't be offended if we do not hold a candle-light vigil, waiting for your return.
I've been here for over a year now and still can't understand why people need to make a big deal about leaving...it's just a brand...geeez.

But...a bit strange.
Most metals used are alloys...sooooooooo...it could be anything is what you're saying.
Originally posted by Mike.P® Isnt that the green focus symbol in the viewfinder of the present models?
It is...but if you look closely, the hexagon sits "flat" when looking into the viewfinder. On the K-7, the hexagon is rotated slightly onto a "point" if that makes sense. I had to look yesterday just to confirm
Originally posted by lol101 A note for your "hypothetical" swich to a 5D + takumars, they work perfect down to 50mm with adapter but wide angles (35f2 and 24f3.5 that I have) cannot be used because of protruding rear element that "conflicts" with the 5D mirror... (max distance for the 24mm is 0,8m and 3m for the 35mm)
A fairly comprehensive list can be found
here for anyone interested
And yes...that is unfortunate
