The only thing I've heard against the *ist is the crippled mount --
and since I don't have any of the older lenses, it's not a big deal
to me. I thought about the MZ-S, but it doesn't work that well with
lenses without an aperture ring, and it's much bigger/heavier than I
would like.
I had a Spotmatic for 30+ years, but after about two years of using
the *ist, I must have a thumbwheel! LOL. I could never go back to
the old way of changing aperture and shutter speed, I am now addicted
to having aperture and exposure compensation and DOF and AE lock all
there at my thumb and forefinger. I've tried manual focusing, but
the camera is so much faster and more accurate, I gave up and just
select the focus point instead.
Good luck with the primes, Scott -- I have the DA 40mm and the FA
50mm f1.7, and they work great with this body, very handy.
