All their literature said so. I have no proof except from my own
experience with pre-production product literature. The tech writers
work farely closely with engineers to get the features right. (I was on
one project where the prototype user interface was the model for every
diagram in the manual, tech pubs sure was pissed when they got to see
the final product).

I didn't have to. There were more than enough witness' to it's
existence. It's not like I believe in flying saucers or not believe
in them. I'm very cynical, but I believe there was a full frame 6
megapixal Pentax DSLR which, due to a large number of circumstances,
put Pentax back into their cautious mode, when bold moves are
probably necessary. I also believe that due to it's user interface
it had full support for K/M lenses. Your statement to the contrary
not withstanding.
The MZ-D(ebacle) was long enough ago that I don't remember for sure if
they showed a working camera or a non working mock up.
It's debatable, that they would have left the mechanical support on
the MZ-D, had it seen the light of day anyway.
Did I read in one of your posts that the istD had the mechanical
linkages in preproduction models but by the time the camera was in
stores, the linkage was gone?
