Does the *ist D have focus confirmation with M42 mount lenses? If so,
was support in the initial firmware or did it require an upgrade?
It sure does, and straight out of the box, if I recall correctly. I used to
use my *istD with m42 lenses all the time, and never had a problem with it
not giving me a confirmation. If your "someone" is using the lens with
aperture stopped down to f8 or more, however, I don't think the camera will
be seeing enough light to make a focus judgement. I'd suggest he try
focusing with a larger aperture and see if that helps.
