Yes, of course - I was talking about the Pentax tubes, as I really think they should be compatible with *ist, at least with *istD. I guess Pentax should upgrade them (at least as A variants), because some people will want to use them with *ist cameras; and I'm more than reasonable asking that (instead of full-mount compatibility). Btw: I have the Pentax auto ext tubes set; paid 39$ sh.
Btw: I saw the *ist in a store (in Romania, I mean); I looked at it only a few minutes. It's so small... I think, smaller than MZ-60. It's also very light, and I didn't liked the wheel and the on/of/DOF switch. The lens mount is metal, but the base plate seems to be polycarbonate. The body is... well... cheap, you can scratch it easily - even the MZ-6 is much better. However, the viewfinder seems to be nicer than MZ-6's one, with a larger eyepiece (I think). ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: Why Pentax *ist (35mm) isn't good? > Alex. > > The Kenko tubes have the AF 'screwdriver' connection.
