Originally posted by totsmuyco I've signed the petition and unlike most of you, I still consider myself as a teenager when it comes to Pentax. What's the difference between these mounts?
Didn't your elders and teachers tell you never to sign a petition without understanding the full ramifications?
The KAF4 will support an electronic aperture lens type Pentax is bringing out, which sends electronic orders to the aperture rather than stopping it down manually. One lens only exists so far for this. The K70 will come with this technology out of the box. Some of the more recent Pentax bodies will handle it with a firmware update. K3 and K5 series, K30, K50 will not handle it at all, as far as we have so far been told. Because there is no aperture stop down arm at all on this lens, it will be wide open or nothing for earlier cameras.
