Well, I don't know that particular lens. If it performs well on
a 24x36mm body, I don't see any reason it wouldn't perform well
on the D/DS.
I don't quite understand the hesitancy underlying all these
questions, Shel. If you want a digital SLR camera and want to
take advantage of your existing lenses,
why don't you just get a D/DS and sort through your lens
collection, picking the lenses that work for you? It's not like
$700 is such a massive amount of money that you need another
mortgage on the house, and you can recover 95% or more if you
found you didn't really like working with a digital SLR.
All of the Pentax lenses I've put on the DS have proven to work
very nicely indeed, and the body has proven capable of
producing excellent image quality given a good lens. Everything
works as one who has been working with 35mm SLRs for 40 years
would expect, that's what I like about it.
