A big Yes. I have a ist D now for 6 months and pondered for maybe two
years if I would make the switch, I didn't regret it for a second.
I also got a 5400 minolta scanner to digitize my older films and I am
not impressed with the scan workflow and scan quality. 6 mp raw was a
big surprise for me.
I finally decided to order a istD grip for my big hands. It definitely
is a big improvement both in size and handling.
My question is if the on-off switch on the grip should power up the
camera? On my grip it doesn't and the controls only work when I switch
the camera and the grip on, batteries
Thanks everyone. Now I don't need to guess if it was by design or
malfunctioning of the grip.
I have the F100-300, even at 300 mm is not bad. It shows some CA at
300mm which is easily fixed with adobe camera raw. Price/performance
is excellent.

It looks almost identical to my 500 mm beroflex, probably uses a
Tmount adapter. These lenses are often rebranded, no idea if Beroflex
is the original name but Google has lots of hits with beroflex.

One of my MX bodies also is sticky and I suspect the foam next to the
focussing screen which dampens the mirror. This foam gets very sticky
almost liquid after many years and residues are present on the mirror.
Could it be an option to simply remove this foam?

Today my istD was repaired by Pentax. The flash charging circuit board
was replaced. It was repaired very nicely by Pentax.
The internal flash died and caused some short circuit (the battery
indicator showed zero and everything stop working)
Now I'm wondering if I fried my D with a Metz CL1??? I

I never use sharpening in the raw conversion. I will try masking
before sharpening. Thanks for the tip.

I have an old (20 years) russian MTO-500, F100-300 and an old 500mm Beroflex.
The F100-300 is the best (it has some CA which can be removed with adobe raw).
The beroflex is not that bad and very cheap, price/performance maybe
unbeatable :)
my old MTO is the worst. It's not very sharp and the bokeh
After looking at some shots from the new Sony DSC-R1 the complete
absence of blue/purple fringing is shocking.
Why do I see blue fringing with all my lenses on high contrast borders
(like trees against a bright sky). Chromatic aberration is different
and can be corrected with Adobe RAW. Is the CCD
The blue fringing is everywhere in the image (left right and center).
Only on high contrast transitions. I also suspect the antlialias
filter like DagT mentioned. A tree branch has blue fringing on all
sides.

Anyway, I don't like blue fringes on my Pentax horizons and trees.

Pictures taken in autumn and winter with many trees against a blue sky
result in a slight blue haze in the tree line. It's ugly.

I have used this lens for many years. I have always enjoyed it
(stopped down to f8 or f11) on the MX. It's almost as good as the
16-45 on the istD.

I totally disagree with John and Shel. I love creating panorama's and
converting them to webversions or big (framed) prints. This is
photography and not the latest technological snapshot gadget for
geeks. And yes it's technical challenging like photography used to be
(or should be).
