Stan, if I may add my two cents to your equation, but a sensible amount
of patience/waiting applied at proper moment in time can lead to much
honorable advancement.
I am talking here about SDM problems and probable rather serious
solution thereof that Pentax could roll out soon enough. Also, p
Stan,
I can't comment about the DA50-135/2.8 but have both K20 and K-7 with
the DA60-250/4.
I like the K-7. It's a much more 'polished' camera than the K-20,
truly the next generation.
But with all the discussion on the K-X, I wonder if a new version or
software upgrade is coming in September.

Stan,
I don't own the 50-135. Like Bill Robb, I held out for the 60-250. My
experience with that lens has been all positive. OTOH, I've also gone
from K10D + K20D, to 2x K-7, and don't

Wow! I have received several wonderful responses to my inquiry and I have a

Hi David.
The lenses you have would work with *istD, therefore, the lenses
should stay. I think that quality of your MF camera would not be
surpassed by *istD, so perhaps this should stay either. Then of course
you could sell MZ-S and add funds for *istD and then optionally, if
you feel more than

I visited my favorite local camera store here in Central New Jersey, USA,
last night. They finally received the long-pomised *istd, and called me to
let me know.
I really liked the feel and operation of the camera. The price, $1375 for
body only, didn't seem out of line. Still I hesitate.

Look for an old H1 ... just a center micro cirrcle and
Since you won't be using open aperture metering with an M42 camera
except the Spotmatic F, and you'd like an MX, why not just use an MX
with the adapter for screw mount lenses?
