It might improve their CAMERA sales, though. We've heard at least one person on this list say he hasn't got a *istD because of backward-compatability issues. I think the least Pentax could do would be to re-issue the old lenses or newer formulations of them. If you can't use the old lenses on the new cameras, and you can't get new versions of them, why buy anything new from Pentax? DJE
