Surf on over to my livejournal to see how functional my *istDS is with a manual K-mount 50mm f/1.4 Rikenon. To use manual lenses, you must enable the custom function that permits the shutter to fire when the aperture ring of the lens is not set to "A". You get centreweighted metering when you press the AE-lock button: the camera will briefly stop down to the taking aperture, set a recommended shutter-speed, and open up again. Essentially, you get a digital spotmatic when you mount a manual K- or M- lens. -Luigi http://www.livejournal.com/users/ouij > > Dave > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Tim Sherburne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 10:10 AM > > To: Pentax Discussion List > > Subject: Re: *ist ds review > > > > > > > > That sneaky guy, it looks like he published his final review yesterday. > > > > t > > > > On 1/19/05 5:47, Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: > > > I don't recall seeing this in the list; apologies if it's a duplicate. > > > > > > http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/istds.html > > > > > > Kostas
