If your DSLR effectively multiplies your focal length by 1.5, it also
*divides* the lens' resolution by 1.5. So you'll want to use top-notch
lenses whenever possible. I think the 31mm f/1.8 Limited would make a
fine normal lens for the *ist-D, though!

Perhaps this is a factor in the compatibility issues of the *istD? Perhaps K and 
particularly M lenses are not that well suited for digital?
At least I know Pentax reps were concerned about these issues at the time of the MD-S. 
They feared customers that were not happy with the results with their current lenses. 
I've even noticed how differnt lenses may perform in response to various films. Provia 
F in particular being a high resolution/low accutance film. It simply doesn't mate 
well with all lenses!
