I'm not being Pollyanaish here but after they received enough negative feedback about the aperture simulator being gone we got a firmware update which partially solved the problem. That was instrumental in my purchasing an *ist-D, because I would never have bought one, if I had to start my lens collection over, at that point I might as well have bought a Canon. If we let them know we're not totally satisfied with the situation maybe the *ist-D follow on will have one. It's a hope anyway. They got at least one sale that they would otherwise have not, but, I probably won't buy a much more expensive body from Pentax if I can't use my lenses properly. I'll look get a used *ist-D or look elsewhere.
Me too. Meaning, they got at least two sales they would not otherwise have.
