Companies that don't make what I want/need don't get me as a customer. Is that simple enough? I would have bought the *istD three years ago AND probably upgraded to the K10D too! IF - they both had the aperture cam sensor to allow open aperture AE with KM lenses. So far I am balking due to lack of the features and general degradation of Pentax's long term product support policies. jco

At best you're a POTENTIAL customer. However, you want to buy "from PENTAX directly with features [you] want" but, unfortunately, those features are not offered by Pentax at this time, and may never be offered by Pentax again. So where does that leave you? Either you have to accept what's real and compromise, not buy a DSLR from PENTAX, or look elsewhere for a DSLR that will accept your K/M lenses that use an aperture simulator. Oh, wait, THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. So, what's next - no DSLR or accept what's available, learn to use your lenses on the camera, and enjoy the experience as best you can. Or you can come here and complain about the situation for days on end, remain frustrated and angry, AND end up with no DSLR. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
