I'm with you on this Wheatfield. Although my *ist D may have to be replaced under warranty, I find it to be a great little camera. Also, since I'm old enough to know how to use a hand held meter, I find the K/M compatability issue to be a non-issue. The few I have work just fine in manual mode. I can hardly wait for a chance to try out my M100/4.0 Macro on it. Bill
