Shel, it's sounding better. Most of my preferred lenses are K and M. Hell, but I do so love my KX cameras. Mebbe this can wait. None the less, I do wonder if the changes were made, in part, because of this absolutely nutty list. If so, thank you Pentax! I'm much more confident of "future directions" now, as until recently, Pentax had very good backwards compatibility.
When I decided to throw money at 35mm, even though my wife was using Pentax, I studied it a bit. Enough to be dangerous. I learned three things I still believe today. a) Pentax has good compatibility. b) Pentax lenses are in the running with any Japanese comparison (and a heck of a lot cheaper than German lenses). c) SMC.
Embracing these beliefs, I did not buy C-O-M-N.
I am now too far in bed with Pentax 35mm to ever seriously consider another system. And too used to the system. I know which way to twist what, and I understand the KX, MX, KM by feel.

So, how many of the list are now considering the istD now that it will work better with the K and M lenses? I'm now giving it some thought.
