Removed newbie from subject line; guess I've been around long enough now not to be a rank newbie. :-)
Okay, I am thinking about selling my Pentax gear and switching to Canon (mainly for the auto focus and maybe a bigger view finder -- yes, I will probably rent one first, if I can, before I decide -- probably the Elan 7e).
But I probably should hold off until the *ist D materializes (and I am among the group that think it will materialize). I do have three zooms: Pentax FA 28-70, F 70-210, Tamron AF 70-300. These, as far as I understand, would all work on the *ist D just fine. (But I am not sure about the aperture priority stuff, whether I can set aperture myself on the *ist D.)
The one thing I truly do not understand, even though I've read some threads about this -- is how would these alter regarding focal length on the *ist D? As far as I understand it (which isn't very far), it involves something about it not having a full sensor, so previous lens lengths have to be refigured and basically they come out shorter or something.
Could someone explain this to me in very simple language?
Thanks, Marnie aka Doe
