It's also rather annoying that the AF500 doesn't have an "auto" mode, so I'd be better off with my 30-year-old Sunpak 3000 on a new body. (Although, of course, there's an aperture-simulator parallel; a screw- mount lens gives me slightly more automation that a later K/M mount). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
