Well the short time I had the camera I tended to use manual focus.
Something I have done since first starting out in photography almost 50 yrs ago.
But it good to have the option and AF does come into its own at times.
And the focus confirmaion in view finder is a great asset.

Well still looking for a KA mount.
But I'm just a little concerned that my set of Tamron lenses that I have will go the same way as the Pentax istD kit I recently purchased.
"To my daughter and her partner"
He loves the the thing even with having to use M.F. with the 50mm.

oh well it's good to see they are Happy with it.

Yes I bought it and also got a 50mm f1.7 Pentax K M lens thrown in with it from the seller.
Have to say I was impressed with the first shots I shot with it.
And so were my daughter and her partner.
So much that they have had it off me.

Hello John
Thanks once again for replying to my ?
I was not to sure where it fitted in the Pentax line up.
I should of said in my post that all the items are in excellent condition, and having checked them out they all appear to be in working order.
kind regards
Phil

Hi John,Sockpuppet & Mongoose many thanks for your replies to my ?
I will try and find a PK/A mount as the lenses are all Adaptall 2.
I have to admit that it has been a good few years since.
I parted with my last Pentax K mount camera a MX with M.D. and PKA 50mm f1.7.
I have been offered a istD body with 2 lenses flash and battery grip.
And was hoping that I would be able to make use the Tamron lenses once again.
Many thanks.
Kind regards
Phil

Hello again yet another?
I have a number of Tamron lenses which are of course manual focus.
Can any one tell me if these will work on the Pentax istD I am thinking of purchasing and if so what Tamron/Pentax mount would be best to purchase.
Thank you once again for your time in reading this post and for any help or advice that can be given.

Hi I'm a new member here and my reason for joining was to ask about the following kit I have been offered it consists of
Pentax ist D body,
Pentax Battery Grip D-BG1,
Pentax AF-360-FGZ Flahgun,
Pentax smc FAJ 18mm-35mm f4.0-f5.6 Lens with PH-RBL67 Hood, Pentax smc-FA 28mm-80mm f3.5 lens.

I know it is one of Pentax early D-slr cameras but wonder if it is worth the £200 asking price?
Also wondering if anyone still uses one and what there honest opinion is of the particular model?
I hope there is someone out there who may be able to give me a honest and unbiased advice.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Phil
