Spring is long gone for some of us.

Hi Ian and welcome to the Board.

Can't agree with you on not needing to purchase it. I personally think the manual sucks and if it wasn't for people here and other fora I would be up the creek so, another reference point is always welcome.

I contacted GMC, the publishers, as the book was NOT on their own website and I got the following reply about a half-hour ago. Thought you might be interested. amazon.ca does have the book listed with the same ISBN but totally screwed-up the title.

Thank you for your message. The ISB you quote refers to a photographic
title Pentax *istD and *istDS. This is not due for publication until
Spring 2007.

Please check the website for further information nearer the time.

This just might be what I've been looking for but I wonder whether they'll cover the D in detail or go almost immediately to the DS and later models. Only listed on the UK sites.

Anyone have any experience with the PIP books in past.

Thanks for posting john, will keep an eye out for it - maybe find the publisher's website.

Not sure if this is correct but some suggested using the 3w in the url otherwise it would look internally for the image.

Could be wrong, just a suggestion form my very bad memory.

Spider, does everything display when you're using just the lens?

Don't know if it is affected but how up-to-date is the istD firmware - I think they're up to V1.2

Welcome Spider and as you have found out this is quite a friendly and knowledgable team.

I am also an istD owner.

Are Series 7 or 8 (VII and VIII) adaptors the same as step-up or down rings???

Where would one find the need to use these?
