Come on guys, this has been discussed myriad times around here. When you put a K/M/A lens on the K100D or K10D, a screen pops up when you turn on the camera that allows you to select the lens' focal length. The only way the camera would know the lens' focal length is if the lens had a way of electronically communicating with the camera, which K/M/A lenses do not have. Once you tell the camera what lens you're using, you get full Shake Reduction functionality. John Celio (pays attention) -- http://www.neovenator.com AIM: Neopifex "Hey, I'm an artist.
