Francis, Here is a copy of the email I posted a couple of days ago... ********************************************************** I got my Ds tonight... it's a little gem. It cost me around USD833 body only in Taiwan. I don't know whether this info has been posted before, so I'll post it again. The first thing I checked was the use of MF lenses. When set in M mode and the use of the aperture ring, the correct exposure will be measured, set and locked by a single press of the AE-L button without the need of using DOF lever... Just like the green button on the istD... Fantastic! ********************************************************** There you go!

Could this be true? Noone in Singapore can confirm whether M-series lenses work okay with the *ist-DS (okay, I presume the DS is not so different from the D wrt lens compatibility). The brochure for the DS only lists K-A and newer lenses as being "compatible". So, how well does it work opn the *ist-D? Can anyone confirm whether this is also the case for the DS?
