Ah, yes. I recall when word first came out about the *ist-D how many of you were all excited that you would be able to use that great Pentax glass with the camera. Now it depends on when you bought some of that Pentax glass before you can use it on the D. Now we'll see if Pentax comes out with a "high end" dslr that will take all of the K-mount lenses and have them operate normally on it. Or perhaps Fuji could come out with a dslr that would take K-mount lenses. That would be some competition for Pentax.
