Er..... its my name.

Reuben
You have tempted me with the right angle finder- is it still available?
I have a K10, would it fit a K5?

John, I feel I would like to look in the 'Safe Place' .....

Thanks for your comments - really appreciated.

Hi Bernhard
I would guess you now have the prize for the most detailed early posting ever. Keep it up!

Any c&c welcomed

Blimey, fatspider, in light of those threats, I unreservedly withdraw all adverse comments concerning the istD...a great camera, clearly.

For what its worth, here is my take.

My first Pentax was a Spotmatic, followed by several later film models. When the SLR market went digital, I waited. A work colleague bought a istD. Frankly, I was unimpressed. It seemed clunky and awkward, most un-Pentax like. And his particular model was prone to problems.

It seemed to me that it was not until the K10 that Pentax produced a DSLR that seemed worthy of the pedigree. Mowog, perhaps you just need a week or two with a current model?

Crikey. A 'box' is seen as a desirable item, and is clearly worth parting with cash to obtain, because others will also value it.

Does this tell us something about our culture?
