Hi!
Thibouille, there a special green button *on top* of D that you have
to press in order to close the aperture and perform metering...
This is with updated firmware (standard in new bodies) isn't it?
I'm still on the 1.0 firmware with an early *istD body, and wondering
about updating.

Hi!
Using old lenses on the D requires the DOF button and so on but the
integrated flash does regular TTL, right?
If so, that's the best reason for me to buy the D rather than the DS.

Thibouille,
Not the DOF button, which is the same collar around the release button that you
turn off the camera with. Same design as the MZ-S, btw.
Metering with pre-A lenses happens when using the Green button. It's located
on top of the camera. With A and later lenses, the same button is used
The integrated flash does not do regular TTL with old lenses. It gives
you full power, but that's not very hard to gauge if you have to use
it. Full power is pretty minimal. I rarely use the on camera flash
other than on a whim or in emergencies. But I've found it's pretty
simple to estimate a
I could be wrong about the integrated flash providing full power with
old lenses. Someone who has time should check the manual. (I have to go
to work.) I know I've used it successfully (more or less) with old
lenses, but I thought I was gauging exposure. Of course if it is TTL, I
would be
I've heard the DS doesn't do TTL flash with non-A lenses
but my D certainly does.
I just tried it again with an old Promaster (non-A) lens.
Proper exposure and obvious flash output difference at
2.8, 5.6 and 11.

Actually pressing the green button sets the correct shutter speed,
basically stop down hyper manual, using
the DOF on the *ist-D gives continuous stop down metering as long as the
DOF is on in manual mode. It
also switches shutter speed to the rear wheel, (thought the front wheel

Alright, so I'll go for the D then.
100 euros more than the DS but having a couple older lenses the D is
better suited IMO.
Will keep you informed when I'll have it :p

Paul are you sure it gives only full power with old lenses, I know the
Ds is documented to only give full power but it seems that the D is TTL
with old K mount lenses. I don't think I've gotten a bad flash exposure
with the internal flash with K mount lenses yet. (I'll have to check).

I'm still on the 1.0
You'll love it, I do.
I have very few complaints considering the price point.
And I complain about EVERYTHING! ;-)
Congrats

It's TTL with K lenses.
I don't use it much but I double checked this morning.
Good exposures from 2.8 to 11.

John,
The update does positive things. It's existence was the clincher in my
determination to go with the D. It allows me to use my non-automatic K-mount
lenses
If you want to use Photo Assistant with K/M lenses it is. Otherwise I
wouldn't worry about it. (Though you might want to download it since
you never know).
