In preparing for the sooner-or-later retail channel stocking of the *ist D,
followed closely (likely) by my purchase of it, I'm trying to figure out if
the body alone will suffice or if I should purchase it in conjunction with
the 18-35mm zoom. I already own a Sigma 21-35mm f3.5-4.2 with 77mm filter
size, and in a 'K-PR' mount (according to the sticker on the side of the
box, I think it translates to 'K mount for Pentax and Ricoh'). It works well
with my existing Pentax 35mm bodies (ZX-5, Super Program and K1000) but I
suspect it won't be full-function compatible with the *ist D. Correct, or am
I being overly pessimistic? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
