Hi all,
I am about to invest -- after all this
time -- in a digital camera. In the past
I have had some really valuable help
from old friends in this group and now
need more.
I'd like to use a Pentax *ist D or its
smaller sibling because I have a decent
collection of Pentax lenses, a macro
setup, and the body would go onto the
microscopes without any need for further
engineering -- that has all been done
for other SLR bodies.
Here are the questions:
Does the camera have mirror lock-up or
some other anti-vibration feature?
Is the cable release an expensive addition?
Will it work with the Vivitar 730AFPK
Autofocus Zoom Flash I have for the MZ50?
Are there any weaknesses that have
emerged over the few years the camera
has been on the market?
I'll be looking for a secondhand body
and if anyone has such a thing I'd be
interested.
Best,
Don
