The dar patch when using the pop-up flash is likely to be when you are
using the lens at a wide angle. The pop-up flash is quite low, so the

OK, but *ist D users still use many of the same lenses as 35mm(and
possibly 645 and 67) Pentax users. So should we have a separate list
for lenses too? OR should we only discuss K/M lenses on the main list,
only FAJ and DA lenses on the digi list and set up another list for
lenses common to each?
Yeah, but the Mz-S grip needed you to take the batteries out of the
body. The point of the grip for the *istD is that you double your shoot
time. I can see why you like the extra stability of something more
firmly clamped, but I prefer this way.
