So the *istd is just muscle flexing from Pentax to stop digital defectors. No intention to get new users then... What an irony, so the *ist d is targeted at the old users after all, but P also cripples the lens mount to keep the same users happy. A true model of coherent, goal oriented policy... but who knows, somebody up there must love them (besides this list). Servus, Alin
