Do you have any proof for the FA"0-35 being "much better"? In my
opinion, the low price of the FA-J18-35 are a result of 1.) the omission
of the aperture ring, 2.) a plastic lens mount, and 3.) the slow speed

Heiko, the FA 20-35 f4 is one of Pentax's best. It has been my favorite
lens, and the one that has given me keeper after keeper.
The FAJ is a cheap, entry-level lens, created so that digital kits can
be offered at a low price. If you can afford the FA 20-35, it will be
much better.

Hi all,
I've been lurking in the DPReview Pentax forum. It's an interesting read.
It looks like a number of brand-agnostic folks have compared the *ist-D
head-to-head against the Canon 10D and Nikon D100 and have chosen the
*ist-D. This, along with the reviews that are being published, tell
Just got an email from Phase 1 saying that they're releasing a version
of Capture 1 DSLR for the Canon 300D.
Any rumor on a version for the istD?
tv
Wonderful to hear about something besides *ist D for a change! Glad
the LX provided that much satisfaction.

Sorry, but isn't that just a 2-stop longer exposure at ISO 3200? It'd only be
ISO 12800 if you got the same shutter speed/aperture combination after dialing
in the +2 stops as without dialing in +2.

Look on the bright side. You've still got a bed, and be thankful he's not

Out of curiosity, I just set the *istD to ISO 3200, dialed in +2 stops of
exposure compensation, and the camera delivered it. ISO 12800?
