Here's a bit off of another list. Will it go the way
of disk film, 110 and APS?
<<Olympus, Kodak, Fuji Film and Panasonic have
announced that they are going
to standardize digital slr's. They will try to get
other companies to join.
I take for granted that Pentax will be asked. The
standardization include
lens mount and CCD size. Lenses will be
interchangeable between different
makes of digital cameras. The CCD will be 13,2 X
17,6mm which is damned
small. Anyway, this will give room for very compact
lenses and could
revolutionize super telephoto work if quality of CCD
is high enough. I've
always been of the opinion that the bulky 35mm format
is not ideal for digital.
Regardless what happens, I still believe that Pentax
will support the
K.mount, digital and otherwise, simply due to the fact
that there are loads
of lenses out there and a whole lens system in place.
