But they did. The first try out was a design one, the I-10, presumably to see if the retro look appealed.
The full version is the Pentax Q, with all its tiny interchangeable lenses. It has to be different in shape to accommodate the screen and sensor assemblies, but the ethos of it is the same as the Auto 110.
Except of course it's a whole lot better.

Can you imagine the furore if Pentax ditched the K mount? Why on earth would they abandon one of the best DSLR mounts and one of the strengths of the system?
An additional mount with adapter for a CSC maybe, like the Q mount. Or a bigger adapter for medium format to fit a 645 mount? It seems we have the mounts already, without any need to ditch the core K mount!

Please remember - no politics on Pentax User.
The OP posed a question about photography, not about what people think of the Royal Family.

Without trying your lens it's hard to say. The descriptions could mean different things to different people.
Why not try another in a shop somewhere and then you'll be able to compare.

Going back to the pictures, a nice bit of backlighting catches the hair, all it needs is a bit of fill-in flash to brighten the faces and put a twinkle in the eyes.
Apart from that, just a mention for the word "sycophantic" which to be accurate needs to mean expecting something in return. It tends to get used a bit in a way that's not really in keeping with that. You can't be sycophantic without having a line of communication. I don't think most people are in touch with the family in question.
Although I don't know, I do have a contact on my mobile that just says "Wales"....

Nigel, you won't want to write that post again when you've tried a K-5, never mind the II versions. Not using the same words anyway!

Actually it's a huge leap in performance and a revelation in terms of noise. It may be ergonomically identical but it's a different ball game in what it delivers.The K5mkI is very much an identical camera to the K7, in many aspects. Its not a very big leap overall is it?

K20D and K-7 both seems quite rare now. We're hanging on to our last K20D and perhaps K-7 owners are doing the same?
