I'm not contributing to the diatribes on either side -- just want to
comment on one comment.

Now I'm significantly more annoyed by the film bodies with this mount,
as they do not have the workarounds that the digital bodies do, and
thus are essentially unusable with K and M lenses unless an external

have a relatively modern film body,but until pentax adds the Green
Button functionality to the *ist, it's not an option.
Have you considered a PZ-1 or PZ-1p as a relatively modern,
well-stocked-with-features, film body? I think it's the closest film
sibling to the *istD.
