How do you pronounce *ist?

[fingerz]

I've been wondering for some time - ever since I first laid eyes on Pentax DSLRs, in fact.

TBH I just call them Pentax ISTs - shouldnt really but there you go.

 

[Steep]

I pronounce it 'ist' but I have a german friend who says it 'ist'

Surely it's some sort of anagram?

s*it?????????

well Eos is one word, so i suppose Ist is one too, albeit a silly one...

Pentax' original meaning was that you prefix ist with anything of your choice - hence the *. So you could call it Steepist, Fingerzist etc. I think they pinched it from Titelist golf balls.
