Well, I checked all custum functions that were available on the
pre-production *ist D, and I can tell you that stop-down metering was
not there.

Personally, I think when we really get to examine the *ist-D in person we will find that they have allowed stop-down metering - I expect it may

Really? People who owns 30 lens are going to have dublicate anyway. My point is to use
different equipment for different usage

*ist D is expensive stuff, and it does not support aperture ring. I see no

Accordion to all the reports thus far the aperture ring will be purely
decorative. However you will be able to glance down at it (it has to be in the
"A" position of course)
I've been told that Pentax have no plans of removing the aperture ring from
the more expensive lenses. As usual, I might have been told bullshit...

The same doubt could be raised with Canon or Minolta system, except you will
never find out because you have nothing to compare with.

I envy you.
I have a K 15mm f/3.5
It would have been a useful - no, essential - lens for me on a DSLR.
