That mirrors my experience. I was either center weighted TTL or

of multi-segment.

After nearly 2 years, I'm still happy with my *ist-Ds (except for the name,

I'm really comfortable with it as a tool. I shoot only raw and have a

It will probably have to be it - but it is going to be a bit bigger
for that zoom range. I'd like to see around 50-150/4 or so - constant
aperture and high quality. I'll probably have to consider the
DA*50-135/2.8 and/or the DA*60-250/4.
We'll see what the prices are like.

Do all the pentax DSLRs have user changeable screens
