Welcome back, Juan. No doubt you'll love your new *ist D. There is no comparison to using the M6/film. The joy of getting to see and work with your pictures immediately is tremendous. And it works nicely.
What I found most appealing is, that I think of my old Pentax stuff, as if I just got it. The *ist D gives it all a new purpose. It's not obsolete analogue equipment anymore. Enjoy!

I've been shooting a bit, but mainly with the M6. Anyway, given a bit of a lack of inspiration period I've been going through, I decided that a new toy would help me get going again, so I decided to finally bite the bullet and get a DSLR. Given the many lenses I already have and love (FA35 2, K85 1.8, K24 3.5, K30 2.8, A50 1.4, etc etc), the *ist D was the obvious choice. Looks like K and M lenses will work in manual metering now, so that's sweet. Of course, as soon as I started researching the camera, many things became apparent: Pentax is about to announce something better/cheaper/faster, Canon just announced an 8Mp SLR for $200 less, etc etc etc... So I decided to stop reading the PDML and rumour sites online, and just order on from Adorama. I guess I'll skip whatever Pentax announces next and then get the 18 megapixel special edition LX that they'll anounce in Photokina 2017. Anyway, UPS says my ist and 16-45 will be here tomorrow. Nothing to ask the list, just saying hi and sharing the excitement... j PS: BTW, I'll be driving across most of the USA from San Francisco to Ohio starting this coming weekend. Looking forward to see how the istD sees America... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
