W. Robb kindly informed me of the following...
Tom, upgrade the camera's firmware to the most recent (I think it is rev1.11). This allows the >camera to operate quite nicely with non A lenses, as it makes metering possible. Also, make sure >that the custom function to allow shutter release with the lens off A is enabled.
With that said, I'm pretty happy with the quality from the Zenitar... not the best I'm sure, but a lot of bang for the buck.

Thanks for letting me know that before I bought the lens, Tom! :)
You might be interested to know that I tried Adorama's fisheye attachment in the store, and it does indeed look like a true fisheye at around 28mm or wider. However, on the istD you'd probably have to put it on something like an 18mm or wider.
