Yes, although the A lenses include electronic coupling, which AI-S and earlier lenses don't. Electronic coupling is necessary for this capability unless you have a work-around like entering the necessary info manually. Canons on the other hand do E-TTL flash with anything you can stick on front, including pinhole caps. > > That said I agree with you, taking into account the differences, K10D > and D200 or about hte same category.

The K10D comes closer than any of the other bodies in its price range, and is a good competitor to the 30D, but it's not quite up to what the D200 offers IMHO. That said, it certainly gives more bang for the buck than the D200, even for a working pro. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
