Timothy, I shot for 14 day in the field in Alaska (snow, rain, dirt & dust) with my *ist D, changed lenses many times every day & never ran into the "dreaded dust on ccd sensor" issue. When I changed lenses, I always shut off the camera, pointed the body down & quickly removed/attached the lenses (just like I do with film cameras).

If anyone wishes to contact me, return e-mail. I can be reached at my office at 1-800-655-4553 (from anywhere in Canada or US). The switchboard is a Coldwell-Banker office, ask for Timothy Stark. Have any of the *istD shooters run into the "ccd dust issue" and is it really an issue when switching lenses? So when I get one of the digital bodies, should I go with a zoom to minimize lens changes? If yes does anyone want my FA 24, 35 2.0 AF, 77 or FA*300???
