Joe,
The article/website says:
>>On the lens front, gone are the FA 24-90/3.5-4.5, FA* 28-70/2.8, FA

I will say that the following are a bad match on the istDS,... way to
front heavy for a good ergronmic combination from my personal
experiences.
FA*28-70/2.8
FA 28-105/4-5.6
FA*80-200/2.8
A 15/3.5
Not so front heavy, but still rather too big...
FA*24/2
FA*85/1.4

Would you be unhappy if these lenses were replaced by something
smaller, lighter, and with excellent performance?  I've got DA 15-45/4
ED-AL sitting here on my istDS.  It feels right on the camera and is
an excellent performer.  More wide lenses and fast primes are all we
need.  I can still use the old ones, but give Pentax a chance to make
some money by selling gear that fits with the lighter digital cameras.
 They feel right.

Regardss,  Bob S.
