Hi I've probably and unknowingly been paraphrasing that for the last 40 years :-). And I'm glad that it was one of my heroes that said it. I have a couple of photos of musicians that are so tack sharp that it looks like a studio - promo set up.

Years ago I bought my last 35mm Pentax, the Z1p just before my holidays, and I must admit that while touring the Maritimes, I kept the camera in its case, foolishly afraid that the salt humid air would corrode the camera and that it would rust and fall apart in my hands :-) I'm pretty careful until the first ding, just like when I buy a new car. Last fall I tripped on a stair and fell heavily onto my *ist DS with my Pentax 100mm macro lens. Not a scratch!! herb
