Re: istDs - what a great camera!

[Peter J. Alling]

Only that the *ist-ds lacks some of the controls that the *ist-d 
includes.  The stop down metering
is accomplished by pressing on the green button while the lens and 
camera are in manual mode.  This can't
be done on the *ist-ds.  Maybe they have implemented my suggestion of 
instantaneous stop down metering,
but I doubt it.  That leaves some other method of accomplishing stop 
down metering with the existing controls
and nothing seems nearly as straight forward as the *ist-d method.

Only if the K/M support is at least as good as the *ist-D has now.
   

 

Hmmm .... just thinking out loud here ... that M24~35 zoom in the
     

equipment
 

drawer should make a pretty nice "normal" lens for the istDS.
