Yes it probably is. But the *ist D is different: The manual says (Troubleshooting p. 153) the shutter won't fire if the aperture is set to other than A (or a lens without A-setting is attatched). After the first firmware update, a new setting was introduced: "Aperture other than A" in the MENU. Then the camera will fire without an A lens set to A - that goes for no lens, bellows etc. as well.
