Boz, you keep repeating the same wrong speculation, so I will quote again what Pentax USA writes:
This is what they write on the *ist: "Usable lenses - Pentax KAF2-(power zoom not available), KAF-, KA- and K-mount lenses (Autofocus possible with KA- and K-mount lenses using AF adapter)"
This is what they write on The *ist D: "Compatible lenses: K, KA, KAF, and KAF2 mount lenses"
Usable, compatible, not at all obsolete.
The compatibility of *ist and *ist D with K- and M lenses has been confirmed by serveral sources including Pentax Germany. The latter source also expressed the expectation that FA-J will be limited to the cheapest price segment.
Let's go to CeBit and put an end to all this speculation! BTW: Have you seen the new design of the Pentax Germany pages at www.pentax.de?
