I have another question for those who have the D and a 24mm or similar wide prime; it would appear you can focus closer with the D than with a standard film camera with the same lens. Has anyone figured out whether or not their hyperfocal scale still works, or how much it is out by (or is it by how much it is out)? I wonder if we get increased or decreased depth of field owing to the magnification/cropping factor and the decreased lens to sensor distance.
I would be very interested to know, especially with regard to the FA*24mm f=2. I noticed my 28-70 will focus to under 1 foot on the D; I imagine the 24 will be down around 8 inches or less; I can't imagine what an FA 100 2.8 Macro (now a 150 2.8) will focus down to. And at those closer than spec'd distances, will the macro ring light vignette on a FA 100 macro (a lens I plan on purchasing)?

PS: I missed the first batch of D's into Canada; I'm on the list for the next batch in two (Pentax) weeks or so, however long that might be in real terms.

My 18-35 came with a nice lenshood. Kind of a tulip shaped thing that bayonettes onto the front.

And no lens hood of any kind comes with it, even though there
are bayonette mounts molded into the cheap plastic lens body that make
it look incomplete without one. Another Pentax design gaffe.
