Near Perfect SLR

( - 9/28/05)

Have been waiting for SLR for awhile, had held off getting the Nikon for this Pentax and it was well worth the wait. Have used this on a photoshoot this past August and have problems whatsoever. The istDS comes close to my 35mm Pentax LX in quality and ease of use. For anyone looking to replace their 35mm you can't go wrong with the istDS.
