Neither Pentax lenses nor cameras are cheap and could be cheaper if they keep on walking on the same route. It's simply economies of scale, if you are not big, then you can not be cheap so should choose a niche market. That's why, if I were Pentax, despite the compatibility issues I would try to produce my best wanted lenses also for other camera producers. Why to compete in DSLR camera field where you have so little share? If they can sell more lenses => more competitive lens prices =>more attractive lens designs + more financial resources in DSRL micro MTF like cameras

Just quickly, Why is it Zeiss don't make auto lenses then? Also Pentax has a good reputation, but Zeiss has a tremendous one. Dave"s clichés
