Re: istD with old lenses and/or extension tubes
Yes, but only the individual tubes, the 25mm and I think 12mm. The set of three tubes are not AF.

Re: istD with old lenses and/or extension tubes
However, one could by a cheap short extension tube get rid of the coupler in it and use it with a lens. You will lose infinity focus though but your lens will be intact. Few days back, Mark had posted a review of *istD. In that review author expressed similar solution.

Any lens connected through the extension tube will not work correctly on the istD, because it will look like an M or K lens to the body. Then I read the trick of using old M or K lenses on the istD by rotating the lens a little or eliminating the aperture coupler. This makes the lens useless on analog camera's.
