Why would we not? The Green Button has made yet another appearance. I bet it adding in coupling wouldn't add in much to the price...they have the tech from...30-some years ago?
Plus, let's be honest for a second. I'm a manual lens user and bought the K10 for this reason. SR...focus confirm...manual lens stop-down...Green Button...awesome. Without any sealed lenses, I have no need for a sealed body. Without an aperture stop-down lever or Green Button, I don't have a need to stay with Pentax. After old lenses stop working, SR would be the only feature worth having. And Pentax can only use 2 kinds of lenses even with adapters...Canon has...lots.
So...the summary is: IF Pentax wants to alienate its legacy users (I'm sure I'm not alone), then so be it. A 40D is within reach and 5Ds are coming way down in price. And FYI...if I could afford it, I would buy a DA 16-50 TODAY. First extra ~$600 I get are going into this lens
