OTOH A-lenses will work without limitations. The camera is incompatible only for those old users who don't have bought a new lens from Pentax since 20 years (when the A-lenses were introduced). This is a pretty long period of time. It is highly unlikely that those users will buy something (including the *istD) from them in the foreseeable future. I don't think they will loose much ...
