Thank You for your comments Alex.Possibly it has nothing to do with the
Pentax list directly but as with a few others ,occasionally there is a
slight divergence.Possibly you could post your comments on the list as I
shall.I am quite happy to stick to strictly Pentax subjects if we no longer
have cars,booze, night life etc.and various other non Pentax subjects.
Warmest Regards Chris Kennedy
