I had no problem when using my Mir 20-M 20mm f/3,5...

It appears (I base my opinion on Harold's report) that the *ist works with
the K-mount lenses more or less like the MZ-50 (although in more "messy"
way). So it's not as bad as the MZ-30 (not to mention the MZ-60). However, I
need the camera that works with such lenses without complications, because
for example I cover (or going to cover) various unusual focal lenghts with
russian lenses (Zenitar 16/2,8 Fisheye, Mir 20/3,5, Arsat 35/2,8 Shift
etc) - I just can't afford the orginal ones by Pentax. But that's no
problem - most of the Pentax cameras do fine for me. I was just curious...
As I said - I'm waiting for the MZ-5n/3 successor
