Re: istDs - what a great camera!

Interesting that you should mention the screwmounts, Antonio. (It was 
actually in your last post, but I already deleted it.) For the very 
fact that it doesn't have the stop down cam, the *istD supports 
screwmount lenses better than any of the K-mount cameras have for the 
last quarter century. A screwmount lens will work just as nicely as a k 
or m lens. In fact, I think I'll go out and shoot some digital pics 
with my Super Takumar 35/3.5. Sounds like a fun Saturday project.

I dont think anyone is claiming that it supports AE in the same way as 
on
older cameras. In any event on my Super A in AE mode the sutter speed 
is
only updated to take into account a new apeture setting when I depress 
the
shutter button slightly and hence turn on the light meter. If I leave 
it for
a few more seconds the light meter turns itself off and I have to 
depress
the button again. Admitedly when activated it then responds 
automatically to
any apeture changes, but it is not that hard to dpress the green 
button on
the *istD to do this manually.

WRONG, read what I said, you cant see it unless
you press button and if you change aperture you
cant see it unless you press button again.
and if light changes, you cant see it unless you
press button again. With true AE you get continous
readout of shutter speed at all times and instantly
updates if you change the aperture, not only the
display but the actual shutter speed too.
