Probably I did.  I read the following at www.dpreview.com and then at
Pentax USA: http://www.pentaxusa.com/news/news_display.cfm?pressid=149

"Lens Mount Type - Metal, PENTAX KAF bayonet mount
 Usable lenses - Pentax KAF2-(power zoom not available), KAF-, KA-
 and K-mount lenses (Autofocus possible with KA- and K-mount lenses
 using AF adapter).  When the aperture ring is set at other than A
 position, release lock or unlock selectable by Custom function No.17"

So, it is still my conclusion that the *ist will not support K and M
lenses.

I'm pretty satisfied with my education, thank you very much!
