Originally posted by stevebrot Just to be clear, as with the 645Z, no K-mount camera is able to signal in-lens aperture control on any lens, so you would need a little more than a revamp of the lens.

So let's be clear here Steve, you are saying that they just released the biggest camera for them in 15 years and still the K1 has no electronic aperture control? What about the 15-30, 24-70, 70-200, 150-450, are they still mechanical aperture control?
If that's the case then.......wow. I will stop asking then because that's clearly some backwards thinking. Their claim of backwards compatibility with the K1 is standard issue for them then because nothing has changed for 20 years.
I guess that explains why the Novoflex K lens adapters have a ring on them for aperture control. I wonder why we can't have that for 645 lenses on K mount too.
