Tried is a bit of an overstatement 8-) I actually managed to find one
locally that the shop was willing to take out of the box and let me play
with.

I bet Mike hasn't tried the *istD. That's why he's so sure his
present
lenses won't work well enough to make him happy.

All this serious _supposition_ (=guessing) on what Pentax MIGHT

what Pentax' future lens design manufacture plans MIGHT be...
Geez!
All without a shred of tangible, valid evidence, too!
Soothsaying without a license no less!
"What if's" are in the realm of questions for story-telling
sages.
It is already the case that _all_ my present lenses will not
function
the same way on the newest range of cameras. The _best_ I can
hope
for, at present, is a workaround that will not suit most of what I
do.
Not being someone who generally rants, raves and blithers on
[what am
I doing here? 8-)] the only thing I can do (and it is an _active_)
is
not buy. Just possibly, the message will get through.
