Too bad you will only be capturing less than half of the image/resolution of the lens with the istD's aps sensor.
This brings up the question, wouldnt a full frame 6Mp camera yield better results than a 6Mp APS camera assuming top quality lenses for two reasons: 1. More image details to record. 2. Lower pixel desity means larger pixels, hence less noise especially at high ISO's. JCO ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.

It will be a great portrait lens (75mm) on my *ist D, when I get one... According to Photodo it's one of the sharpest Pentax lenses ever made - or tested by Photodo (Grade 4.6) - only matched by the SMC F 1.4/50mm and SMC A 1.4/85mm (as well as maybee some macro's, which doesn't really count).
