Those fine K/M lenses were designed to be supported by film cameras, so really, you don't have anything to complain about with the lack of support from the digital camera. If they stop supporting the mount with film cameras, you might have something legitimate to bitch about, but for now, by your own criteria.... you don't.

What the istD has is a disabled "K" mount that has absolutely nothing to do with digital capture... If they went to a new lensmount like olympus just did in order to improve performance of the lens/camera that would be one thing, but they havent. All they have done is dropped key camera functions without any technical problems causing the drop. Face it, it sucks and wasnt necessary in the name of progress to digital....Totally unrelated marketing decision. JCO
