The features that I have been able to find out about for the *ist D seem to
be a pretty good set to me. The main feature I like is the ability to use
all of my Pentax glass, which won't fit on my Canon digital at all.

If you use the right printer for 4 x 6 prints, you can beat the cost of lab
prints. Try the HP Photosmart 100, 130, or the most current 4 x 6 printer.
Great 4 x 6 prints but, remember, it won't print anything larger. I do all
of my 4 x 6 prints on it and do the big prints on the Epson.

The PDML is definitely alive and well. Feign ignorance to post a question
then argue with the people that offer answers. Isn't that a form of
trolling?

Are you going to have a chance to walk around the location before the shoot?
If so, have someone come along with a bit of authority so you can turn on
the lights and make some readings ahead of time.
Heck he/she could even walk the runway for you so you could check your
flash/lights, etc. You
Obviously, if you know exactly what you don't want, then you should focus
your search on the remainder. If you ever find a small, cheap, rugged,
incident lightmeter that has no other modes or functions, tell us what it
is. In the meantime, augment your spotmeter with the Sunny 16 rule until
From what I have read (I don't own one), the Kodak DCS-760 can do this.
This camera was expensive before but it has become obsolete and the prices
for used ones should be getting a lot lower. I haven't been searching eBay
for one.

The only word wrong in that statement was the word ever. Without that one
word, the statement was accurate for the time. We were writing most of our
own programs, in pretty efficient code. Program bloat took off to heights
that are still increasing today.

One of the things I've noticed is that digital cameras handle under exposure
much better than they do over exposure. I've been able to get very good
prints from exposures that were three stops under exposed using most digital

Yep. It only makes sense to use the tools at hand in the way they best work
for you. I think it's a waste for a person to buy a camera for features
that he intends never to use. As my cameras have gotten to be more capable,
I have made the necessary effort to get the best use I can of the
I found out that the Kodak DCS-760 would accept a wireless card so you could
sen pictures directly to a computer similarly equiped and in range. The 760
should almost be affordable, used, now. The newer cameras don't seem to
have this capability.

It seemed to work that way for 8mm movie cameras.

I think you are right, Paul. I think that the worst possible thing that
could happen to Pentax would be for all prospective Pentax buyers to find
and read the PDML before they made their purchase. For a user's group, we
seem to be pretty negative about Pentax's efforts.
