I think that this might be an acceptable loss given the smooth operation. Also, I never notice the viewfinder as being particularly dark. OTOH, that was a f2-2.4 zoom.

Re: HELP - Firmware 1.11 for *ist D
You are splitting the light sending some to the viewfinder and some to the sensor, you lose between 1/3 to a full stop in exposure, and have a rather dim viewfinder. (I'm not sure about what effect light leaking through the viewfinder might have on the exposure as well but it probably isn't good). Steve Desjardins wrote: What are the drawbacks of this system?

RE: HELP - Firmware 1.11 for *ist D
James.
I will probably be putting it up for auction (ebay) during the next couple
of days. It's sad to let it go ('cause it's SO beautiful and has suchj a
nice feel to it - and it's actually a very well built and well designed
camera), but it's better that it is serving some one else, than just sitting
on a shelf, while I'm using other cameras (* ist D or 6x6). I have paid 1050
USD (like new) for it in february (including the battery grip), but I will
probably get someting like 650 USD at ebay. Ther eye cup is missing, but now
it comes with a cable release (Rob's). Please feel free to make me an offer
off list (anyone), if you are interested in owning this magnificent camera -
the last pro Pentax for 35mm film, I believe.
All the best

Re: REV: HELP - Firmware 1.11 for *ist D
I use K and M lenses quite often. You will get used to pushing the green button. It becomes an automatic process. No hassle whatsoever. For all important shots I use my K primes: the 24 and 28 3.5s, the 50/1.4, the 85/1.8, and the 135/2.5. I also use my A 400/5.6 and M 200/4 quite frequently. I have two zooms, an FA 28-105 and a Sigma 17-35. I use them quite often but more for walkarounds and casual photography.

Jens It's a difficult decision but after I purchased my *ist D all I did was look at my MZ-S and think what lovely camera it was, I never actually used it. I figure that the *ist D offers as much automation (if not more) than the MZ-S and so I elected to keep my more traditional (and cheaper) manual bodies. The Exakta wouldn't return you too much cash I guess, wait a while and see if the *ist D will provide you with all you need then decide which to sell. There are some things that 35mm film will do slightly better than the *ist D but the 67 (or 6x6 in your case) does a whole lot better such as detailed landscapes.

It's not like shooting with a Spotmatic. What I meant by "it is like shooting with a Spotmatic" is that you take a meter reading in a seperate step from the rest of preparing for a shot. On a Spotmatic you turn on the meter which stops down the lens and then you do needle matching. On the *ist D you press the green button which stops down the lens and picks a shutter speed for you. alex

It only works in the M position. There is really no meaningful way for it to work in any other position. In Tv the camera can't adjust the aperture, so I don't know what it would do. It isn't true Av because it only meters while stopped down and not continuously. I guess they could have made it work this way, but I don't think that it would be much better: * In Av pressing the green button sets the shutter speed to have the right exposure. Exposure compensation is used to adjust it. This is how M works now. * In M the green button updates the meter reading, but doesn't change the shutter speed. This would be really annoying to use. You would press the green button, see that it was off by a few stops, adjust the shutter or aperture to compensate, then press the green button again. Maybe it would be right, maybe the light changed a bit and now it is half a stop off. Repeat. K/M lenses only work in M mode. It is like shooting with a Spotmatic all over again. I like it. alex
Re: New firmware 1.11 for *ist D
1.11 is working for me with manual, the green button, and K lenses. I noticed in Custom Functions that I was asked to choose between P, TV, and AV when using Manual. I don't recall seeing that before. I also checked to make sure that I was still set up for "a stop other than A." (I was that didn't change.) I selected AV by the way, and the camera works fine.

I was just checking the pdf of the latest *ist D brochure to see if the new "backwards compatibility" rates a mention, doesn't seem so. However in the 4 page brochure it does state quite clearly in a large table that the camera can miraculously squeeze many more large images than small per KB of storage space. Makes me wonder.
