I don't believe anybody here thinks you ought to buy an istD. Or any
other camera. None are perfect, and obviously you will be unhappy with
an imperfect cameras.
For the rest of us, we live in the real world where hardly anything is
perfect and are glad when something meets most of our desires.
i don't know much about *cAmpatibility* (i suppose
that has something to do with camps and campari?), but
the rest is BS, be it USA or not.

Agreed. I'd say that people who only use MF lenses and who have no
intention of buying AF lenses don't really have any economic clout when
they complain that new bodies won't support their 25 year old

Not to worry, Robert. Lots of people here whine about everything Pentax
does.

various 50's for which I have F versions. The 35/2 hurts a bit because I
bought that three months ago intending to use it as a normal. I've

I have been testing the fantastic *ist-D with a variety of lenses. So far, the Pentax
80-200/2.8 FA and Pentax 200/4 FA Macro have been stunning.beautiful. Tamron
24-135 not bad. Pentax 20-40/4 FA very good. Tamron 80-200/2.8 superb (adaptall pk-a
