It's on page 7 - "Technische daten", at paragraph "Kompatible objektive".
Best wishes, Roland

I can see the page and have seen it before but I can see no such information.

Hi gang,
According to Pentax Germany and the press information PDF (http://www.pentax.de/pentaxeurope/pentaxeurope_prod/pentaxeurope/v2/de/photo/newsArea/news/PENTAXistA/prod.html), the *ist is only compatible with KAF2 (no power zoom), KAF and KA. Not K-mount. This means that the *ist has the same compatibility as MZ-60/30/50. It lacks a mechanical coupling of aperture. But it can take photos with K-mount lenses (if programmed from a Pentax Function), but it can't meter with them.
This information was released March the 3rd and seems to be the latest, so I believe this information is quite reliable.
In a sense, this is a logical move since the *ist is entry level (replaces the MZ-60, MZ-7 and MZ-6). I believe that the two more upmarket models (the replacement for the MZ-3/5n and the MZ-S) will feature KAF3 with full backwards compatibility.
Best wishes, Roland
