That's too bad, because it's a great camera -- even with K and M lenses.

That is NOT a good thing. That is a big reason I DON'T
own and use one. I don't buy things that don't have what
I want/need.

So then you're not familiar with how the istD uses the older lenses, is that correct?

I am very curious as to how the *istD could EVER fully support the K/M

mount lenses when it doesn't have the sorely missed aperture sensing
cam, a $10 part found even in the cheapie K1000. Without knowing the
relative aperture setting , how can the camera ever do open aperture
metering? JCO

I didn't know you were using an *istD, JCO. Mine works fine with K and

M lenses. I use them nearly every day.
