I find it interesting that they chose to address M-lens compatibility with
new firmware *first*, of all the other potential things they could have
done.
They could have, say, added flashing red blown highlights, which would
seem to be of value to a wider audience. It does seem that they realised
that a large number of (potential) *istD owners value their old lenses.
For me, the fact that they issued a firmware update at all makes me more
confident that they might issue a next one later, maybe adding blown
highlight indication then and histogram on instant review then.
But I also wanted M-lens compatibility *first* :-)
