I really liked the IR images that the *ist-D took. I mostly used an
RM-90 filter (since I inherited oen - my father used to use it with
Kodak HIE) but I later used an R-72. Very long shutter speeds with the
RM90, better with the R-72. I now have an IR converted K-1)D, but I use

Pretty much the same story, Alan.
The K110D had a weaker IR cut filter compared to the cameras that came
later. You can modify them, by removing the filter, or use as-is with
longer exposures.

Fascinating, but you would have to be quite brave to attempt that! Even with
the long exposures, Mark's approach is better for the faint hearted. The

Most autofocus cameras (film before digital) were sold as kits with

You might want to try a cheap non-Pentax auto-focus zoom to start.

I was actually more trying to help Eric understand where some of the
big differences between older and newer models were. Image quality
is much more subjective and so is AF speed and so on.
When I go back and pick up my *istD and compare it to the K10D, K20D
or K-x - what immediately jumps out at
Eric and Bruce,
I never had much of a problem with the *ist Ds and continuous shooting.
My first experience was with some nesting tree swallows, and
I'd get 6 or 7 shots in a burst before the buffer filled and I had to wait.
(see here)

Hello Eric,
You seem to be bouncing around between different models. Maybe you
could tell us better what your target price is so that we could hone
in on models and deals that would work well for you.
>From a practical perspective, the older models will be slower to
shoot and have smaller screen
No software update, a DS running firmware 2.x has the same software as
a DS2. Slightly faster card writes and a larger LCD are the only
differences between the DS and DS2 and the write speed difference is
measurable but unnoticeable (it only shows up in testing).

DS2 has a larger LCD and some updated software over the DS.
Pentax will let you update the software on the DS to that of the DS2.
Otherwise, DS and DS2 are identical and DL or DL2 are the weaker siblings.

I kept my *ist DS camera as I like how it works with Pentax flashes.

I had my *istD at George Ray's Dragstrip when it went wierd, and what had
happened was the button battery cover had come off. I thought the camera was
dead for sure. Ended shooting that day, but when I got a replacement from

firmware changes were given to the DS as well in v2.0 of the DS
