What a great thing to see upon getting back to my hotel! I just compared the measurements to an LX and an MZ-S - it's right there with them!!!!
That is the one complaint I have had whenever I have used the Nikon D1H and D1X at work. After a while my hand tires of carrying them. True I can hang them, I do use straps, but my style is to carry the camera in hand when shooting. Also, as Juey was amazed at the NYCPDML, the *ist D can just replace an LX in my fanny pack. This would mean an LX, an MZ-S, an *ist D, along with the 24/2, 77/1.8, and a 50/1.4,1.2 in the bag! Or maybe two LXen and no MZ-S. All without winders of course. Total glass compatibility! I wonder how my Tele-Takumar 300/6.3 (largest screwmount lens I have) or better yet my Auto-Takumar 55/1.8 (oldest 1960-62) will look on it. Another nicety - what looks to be a flash. Just like the MZ-S. No need to carry a flash unless necessarily planning on using one. AA batteries!!!! You just have to love that! Often I have been using the D1H or D1X and wondered if the battery would last through my shoot. Using AA batteries - which I always carry - makes it one less worry or expense of a spare proprietary battery. I would prefer it in black though. Somehow, I think it will be and we just have to wait for the true picture to show up - unless it already has and it is among the 200+ messages left for me to read. Now I just have to wait for it to show up at my local store - they have an order pending with their rep - and see if it handles well and suits my needs. With their track record I don't expect a problem. I don't think I will have a problem with three different layouts in my camera bag... Wondering if I can still make it back home Friday morning with the snow looming, César Panama City, Florida in Baltimore, Maryland -- -----Original Message----- -- From: Iren & Henry Chu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 9:35 AM -- -- Dear all, -- -- The news finally come: -- -- http://www.letsgodigital.nl/webpages/events/PMA-2003/news/pen tax/SLR-IST_uk.html Cheers!
