Re: *ist Ds + A20/2.8 or 24/2.8 - will it work?

[Paul Stenquist]

Yes. You'll get all the metering modes with an A lens. The *istD is 
definitely a good walkaround camera with a compact lens mounted. If you 
recall,  there was a discussion on thePhoto.net Leica forum about ten 
months ago regarding the *istD and how it would be a good solution for 
those who couldn't wait for a digital M. Of course the size and 
affordability of both the camera and some of the available lenses was 
the focus of the thread.

it'll work without anything fancy? Just thinking in terms of a very
small, compact carry-cam, a digital HCB machine with manual focus and
aperture priority......

Not anytime soon, but maybe next year.....
