OK, but *ist D users still use many of the same lenses as 35mm(and possibly 645 and 67) Pentax users. So should we have a separate list for lenses too? OR should we only discuss K/M lenses on the main list, only FAJ and DA lenses on the digi list and set up another list for lenses common to each? It just becomes a nightmare, especially when you consider we often go off topic and cross subject categories. Sorry - I can see why you like the idea, its just not practical even if we all agreed.
