Are those the ones in the black pajamas (they are professional you know)

Mr. Robb, I hope someone at Pentax Japan is reading this
recent spate of posts by you.

If their calculations showed that the profit from majority of K-mount
users buying an *ist* was less than the engineering and production
cost of

*That's* the most important thing Pentax is throwing away.

I don`t think Pentax gives a rats ass about what we think here on the
list.
Perhaps thats exactly what they did: they do give a rats ass. If they have been

Hey, now, not true.
360 flash, the ZX-L, ZX-50, ZX-M, and two FA lenses purchased by this household
in the last few years. All new. Folks here like K/M lenses because
of optics and _build_ quality. I imagine people in other systems often
prefer older lenses for the exact same reasons. It's not

BTW, I have bought new Pentax items in my life, and I`ve also supported
their parts department, and their service department, not to mention the
Pentax cheerleading I`ve done to camera shops, friends and family.
But I digress, the rats ass feeling is mutual with the direction Pentax is
going.
Pål, you and the Pentax staff better ask themselves:
1.) If people stick to 20+ year old gear and even buy so much of
Pentax's old gear, what qualities does this old gear offer that the new
gear does not offer?
- IMO the old gear offers better build quality and better value for
money than the
Yes, Pal, we know, you don't think much of the people on the list.
The fact of the matter, in my case, is that Pentaxes are the only cameras I
ever bought new. But, that just points up the fact that your opinions are
just your opinions however much you think you know.

Hi Pål,
Many stick to the equipment of the era from when they got into photography.
For me this would be the M, A and F bodies and lenses. However, today
my favourites are K-series, LX, F/FA*, Limiteds. I do not seem to be in
accordance with the many - but heavily influenced by the PDML

An aperture simluator may be expensive, but how can 5 lines of

If the aperture simulator can be put on a competitively priced $200.00

Dear Pentax Corporation,
For more than 14 years I am a user and a big enthusiast of Pentax
k-mount equipment. I have spent a huge amount of money both on new and
used Pentax k-mount equipment
Nicely said if only we could be sure they read and care about what is said
on this list.

Arnold,
Does this mean in non-metered manual mode, all apertures are available with
K/M lenses? That wasn't clear from your earlier report. It wasn't even
clear that a non-metered mode was available.
If it's true then I'd be happy enough, as I'm not as married to the concept
of internal meters
Sorry if I did not describe things clearly. Yes, on the *ist D a
non-metered manual mode is available with K- and M series lenses. DOF
preview is available, too. One can even meter with the camera in AV mode
at open aperture, then switch to manual mode and calculate what the
shutter time
Thanks for answering so soon, Arnold.
This makes me happier, and I can now deselect rant-mode, and withdraw my
recent complaints. I'm sympathetic to those who prefer to have the camera's
meter and especially Av mode available with their classic lenses, and I hope
that either a work-around is
Well done, Arnold!
I second that, too.
But please tell them, I'm a Pentax user for more than 18 years!

Still, I find the idea of an *ist-D very tempting...
