I'm looking for some info on Pentax digital SLRs. The *ist DS that a few members own is going for around $900 brand new. That's for the body only, but the bonus is that you can supposedly use old M42 (yes M42
) screw mount lenses on this camera. That means there are lots of good second hand Pentax, Praktica and some Russian lenses out there.

Why do the Pentax seem less popular than Canons and Nikons with similar specs?
What's the diff between the Pentax DL & DS models?
I am only dreaming at the moment, but if I did get a DSLR it would be for astrophotography.
