Well, I do not know about the *istD, but the Pentax Limited 31/1.8, 43/1.9
and 77/1.8 give me excellent results on film. As a plus, they're build in
metal like the Zuikos ;) There are a number of really good zooms too
(24-90/3.4-4.5, I think, while feeling like "plastic" is an excellent
lens...and some others)
