G'day All. I did some pricing today with my local Photographic outlet. A Canon 300D is about $1700 AU with a Canon EF 24-85 zoom. A *ist D is about $2500 AU with a poxy Sigma 28-70 f2.8. I can see why the punters are flocking to the 300D. It only takes a single tax return and one is playing with a digi SLR. Pentax on the other hand is a save for a rainy day or mortgage the missus type price range and still end up with a poxy sigma lens.
I can see myself shooting Film for a long time to come. So, the people that are still shooting and enjoying film....Count me in as well. Actually, My local photographic outlet has just installed a new AGFA lab with digital capabilities. It give very good output. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor Grafton
