I'm intesrested in the new future hypothetic Samsung NX series.
Happy owner of a istDs and two limited lenses (43 and 21) I'd like to be able to use them from time to time on a lighter and less obstrusive body. Does any Pentaxian in this very useful (for me) forum, know if it will be possible to mount K lenses on the Samsung body
? Do Pentax and Samsung still work together? Where can I find information?
Wishing good pictures and sending saludos to all Pentax users (and to others too.....) Thanks to all.

Samsung has been real quite lately. But keep in mind that the K-7 uses the Samsung CMOS sensor so the liklihood of them still collaborating is good.
Lets face it in business terms Pentax will owe/pay them a bunch of money. Awhile back I would have said that would definitely involve a trade of services as partial payment (engineering ect) but since samsung camera has been split off of the mothership this may not be so likely anymore. I still think they will trade something though.
Samsung pretty much never admitted the Schneider lenses were Pentax lenses either but this might imply that the "new lenses" could still be Pentax designed, Hoya blanks and just assembled "somewhere".... as to appear "Samsung" or whatever... For some reason they are quite funny about this issue...
bottom line is we just have to wait and see, or hope for some kind of leak.
