My biggest complaint thus far is that a couple of the great K lenses
~seem~
to perform like a 1967 Soligor on an out-of-whack Spottie. I say seem
because I really need to make a few more careful exposures, get better
familiar with RAW processing, and, of course, become more comfortable and
familiar with the camera. My limited experience is suggesting that newer
lenses are better suited to the Pentax DSLR than at least some of the K
lenses.
That was my conclusion as well. It's too bad, but evolution happens, whether
we like it or not.
The problem as I see it, ~for me~, at this point,
is that there are too many steps for metering - "green button", setting
exposure lock, recomposing - I really need to practice more with the
camera.
On the istD, I don't need to set the exposure lock, I just meter, compose
and shoot.
Did they do something different on the DS?
