camera, which allows program mode on any Pentax body and full aperture metering on the *ist-D and Ds.
Which is the most important difference. Before I bought a *ist-D I really didn't care about that feature. of the As.

Fair enough. However, I was wondering what the differences in general between the two lines is. I see both of them for sale, but I have no clue why one would be preferable. Any insight would be appreciated.

There is no A 135mm f3.5

I've thought about it, but I'm not sure about the extra weight. It may be a good trade off though. You say a M. What is the difference between that and the A?

Why not a couple primes? You'll get beter overall quality and they are brighter. Of course you'll have to carry them all. A SMC Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 is a very good lens and is VERY cheap.
I have a KX (higher end version of the K1000). I can tell you you will love this camera. I even listen to mine as much as I want when no film inside. Just because I LOVE the noise it does :) ------------------------ Thibouille
