I do have three zooms: Pentax FA 28-70, F 70-210, Tamron AF 70-300. These, as far as I understand, would all work on the *ist D just fine. (But I am not sure about the aperture priority stuff, whether I can set aperture myself on the *ist D.) > > The one thing I truly do not understand, even though I've read some threads about this -- is how would these alter regarding focal length on the *ist D? As far as I understand it (which isn't very far), it involves something about it not having a full sensor, so previous lens lengths have to be refigured and basically they come out shorter or something. > > Could someone explain this to me in very simple language? > > Thanks, Marnie aka Doe > >
