I agree. They're both good lenses on the *ist D or the old film
cameras. But I also understand that Pentax has to drop part of the old
lineup to allow for development. All manufacturers retire products that
may still be viable in order to cut costs. It's not just Pentax. It's
the way of the world.

I will say that the following are a bad match on the istDS,... way to

My everyday lens on the *ist-D
FA*80-200/2.8
Well, this is heavy on anything. But I still have no
problems using it on the D.
There again I always have the battery grip mounted, so
I probably don't have the same weight & balance issues.
