You seem to forget the *ist d effectively forbids the use of aperture ring, so along this *ist line it looks likely the Pentax won't manufacture lenses with aperture rings anymore. Unless they do announce publicly a future high end body that makes use of lens aperture rings and inherently is compatible with K/M lenses, there is no reason we should expect the FA line to be continued. PJ> Such lenses are popular among Nikon a Canon entry level buyers. PJ> The rest of us aren't affected by FA-J lenses. Unless you know something you don't intend to disclose, I'm afraid you are plainly wrong. The best the rest of us can expect is FAJ Star lenses. Servus, Alin

Looking at my last 8 rolls of Provia, the statistics are that I bracket for almost every still subject in order to have a copy, to vary depth of field or try a smoother boke, and only once or twice I did bracket for exposure. And that happened when I wasn't sure of the compensation to apply on a certain shade I had my spot meter on. Odd as it may sound I'm perfectly happy with all the exposures, but then my needs are not that varied. :o\ Servus, Alin Herb wrote: HC> bracketing everything is cheap. not having near duplicate HC> originals to send out and not having different variations to suit HC> different needs is foolish. there is no such thing as a single perfect HC> exposure of a scene to suit every need.
