So looks like I did ok!...although this comes with a MkII lens.
That 18-35mm lens will work on film too, I did think about looking for one on that basis (it'll work with anything that has A contacts, although only certain bodies will allow you to set the aperture).
Shooting the Welsh Wilderness with K-m, KX, MX, ME Super and assorted lenses.
( PEF ) afaik, the best option is straight to tiff imho.

I'm using version 0.15, which happily opens the PEF's from both my *istDL2 and K10D.
the current version is 0.17, which is listed as supporting all Pentax cameras from *istD to K7
but it does help
Unless of course anyone is selling a Gimbal head....cheap
Mine [*istDS] cost £130 a few months ago from cameraworld.co.uk in the west end. It was marked up £150 with 18-55 and as I asked nicely he knocked £20 off on the phone so I went and collected it before he changed his mind. Turned out to have a low shutter count, spotless, and works great! I wouldn't sell mine either!
The DS is a different model from the D. The D came first and is more advanced in some ways, but not so good in other ways and doesn't have such quick electronics.
One recently sold on eBay for £160 "Buy It Now". It might have got more in auction.
I suspect the D might be more interesting for collectors in the future, so perhaps its value might go up again.

I keep looking on ebay but dont see any.
I gave mine to my son who isn't using it, thought I may try and sell it to fund a Gimbal Head.
