Remember when the *ist D came out how everybody HATED the strap? How's the K10 strap? Identical to the K100 strap. It just says PENTAX in bright red letters, no pockets... Actually, now that I look at it side by side, it's the same as the *ist D strap, too. Just doesn't say ist D (obviously)

My Pentax strap is stil in the box, and there it will stay. I immediately attached the Tamarac strap that I took off of the D I sold. It has a nice padded area for the neck, and it can be detached easily when the camera is used ona tripod. Paul -- Original message

When I got the ist-D I also got an MZ-S strap for it. It has built-in pockets which can hold the eyepiece blind (which I never use - that's what manual exposure is for) and the infrared remote control. Very handy. In fact, the pockets in the MZ-S strap will also hold a spare CD card. (About

You don't need that. The AF280/220/400T will all work on anything that you can set the aperture on and that will fire them. They have a built-in sensor to tell them when to quench. Probably others in that series, too, like the 200 and 160. There's life in the AF280T yet then, how long
