I replaced the strap with one from the Z/MZ series, so that I could store the plastic covers from the eyepiece and hotshoe in the pockets on those straps (great idea - pity Pentax dropped them from the D/DS strap). The manual is very light on on advice on using older lenses. The main section that deals with it is the table on page 179. This deals with changing the default setting for using the aperture ring on lenses. I haven't tried older lenses yet but, from what I can see you have to change the default before you can use older lenses successfully. I would have preferred the various metering modes to have been accessible from the Fn menu rather than being buried in another menu. My main gripe, however, is the very redimentary section on using external flashes. The info on Page 153 really isn't good enough. A fair bit of trial and error is going to be necessary with this.....
