If the contacts are basic I don't think it will function any differently than a non-KA lens. I have a couple of 3rd party KA lenses without contacts (only an A position on the aperature ring) and that is the way they operate. RCB - Original Message - From: Andre Langevin [EMAIL

Well that's down $50 for the one in the same condition that I bought six weeks ago. LN- meant that it came with everything (except batteries) in the original box. I've been using it since it arrived with my manual lenses and am quite happy with it. RCB - Original Message - From:

I agree. Faster AF hasn't been an issue for me since all I have are manual focus lenses. As with computers, the latest model is always a bit obsolete by the time it hits the market - its never ending. My biggest concerns are image quality and how it handles and the D does very well in each

I'll second the choice of *istD! Its got everything I need and that it takes CF's was a factor in my decision. The D's smaller display doesn't bother me as I usually turn it off for most shots. RCB - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Sent:
