Looking for primes for digital is a wise decision. Waiting for full frame is even wiser. Personally I couldn't care less for current Pentax zooms in the *ist d equation. The focal ranges are all scrambled up to the point of rendering it useless. Trans-standards become what, portrait zooms ? Tele-zooms are pushed towards the long end, where image quality drops anyway. Wide angle zooms barely fit the standard lens bill: we're back in the era where 35-70 was an amazing lens. Servus, Alin
