Hello everyone -

I got a Pentax *IST D in good condition.

Does anyone know the max CF storage this camera accepts? I put in a 4GB card but it still says insert CF card.

Also, does anyone have a parts unit forgotten in a corner as the CR 2016 button cover is missing in this unit. Many thanks in advance for your feedback and consideration.

When I had my *istD memory cards were measured in MB not GB!  My BIG card was 512MB at the time.  The CF interface is the same as SATA and I *think* that there is a version/compatibility switch over at 4GB (I could be wrong).  Try smaller like 1-2GB if you have one.

Parts... I found a source for used camera bit a couple of months ago but now I can not find the link.  I will keep looking.

Doug
