>From Pentax USA concerning the *ist D: "*Compatible lenses: K, KA, KAF, and KAF2 mount lenses; screw mount lenses, 645, and 67 series lenses (adapter required). Some functions may not activate depending on the choice of lens."
Still it wouldn't surprise me if the production version of the *ist D wouldn´t support K and M lenses in manual and Av mode. But the misleading and insufficient information that Pentax has supplied us or anyone else about the lens mount issue is very bad for their PR. Not to mention nerve wrecking to K/M -lens users. How long can they continue underestimating their users this way? -mte
