Re: Pentax *ist DSLR

My first Pentax was the *istDS. I believe it was the last Pentax that had TTL flash capabilities. Birds in flight were possible with care in shooting. Catch-in-focusing was and still is a blast to use for capturing hummingbirds in flight. BTW: The American Avocet in flight images were taken with a Tamron 70-300mm lens that I gave $65 for from KEH. Keep your ISO at or below 800 and you can still make some pretty good images with an *istDS from Pentax IMO.

Cheers.
