Photo Assistant Annoyances.

[P. J. Alling]

Here's a question, I decided to download Pentax Remote Photo Assistant, 
which works very well, although the transfer speed leaves a bit to be 
desired.  However I had a commission from a local artist to make some 
record photos of his work and decided to use the *ist-D tethered to the 
my computer for the job, and the best flat field "short" lens with good 
correction.  So I grab my SMC-M 50 f1.7 and, the damned software won't 
fire the camera, it only works if you have a A F or FA lens mounted.  I 
ended up using the 43mm limited.  It's sharp but suffers from a bit more 
distortion than the 50 1.7. 

It's the long way around but has anyone else tried a [K]/M lens on the 
*ist-D with Photo Assistant and had this problem or is it just me...
