Greetings to you too, Lasse. Yes the weather has been lovely this weekend :-) In Denmark we had up to 23 degrees Celcius today - and sunny, naturally. Not bad for April! Canon makes great professional tools. Anyway, the most important thing is that the photographer knows his/her equiment. A good photog can make good pictures with any camera, as long as he/she knows what the camera can do - and what it can't do.
Me - I've got too many original Pentax lenses (20-30 - some of which are really VERY good) to even think of abandoning the brand. Also, I never wanted to use, what everybody else is using (Canon, Nikon). If I won the Lotto, I'd get a Canon Mark something and L-lenses - doing 8 FPS. And perhaps a Leica M8. Just to show off. Then I'll go photographing with one of my Pentax (D)SLR's :-) Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk +45 56 63 77 11 +45 23 43 85 77 Skype: jensbladt248 -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Lasse Karlsson Sendt: 7. april 2007 14:36 Til: PDML@pdml.net Emne: Spring greetings from Scandinavia Hi all, Just want to say hi to you all and that I'm still around. Spring has arrived up here, although for the time being it's still a bit chilly and windy. But there is more light and among everything else that springtime brings along, you start thinking about how to photographically make the best use of the increased sunlight. It's nice to see that the list is running very much like it has always run, that many of you oldies are still around as well as some new blood having joined. I have stayed subscribed all the time, although I'm now shooting Canon (20D) and haven't been posting for a really long time - a year, two years? However there is still a Pentax torch glowing inside, if this expression doesn't sound too silly in English. Due to lack of funds for a number of years, I haven't been able to make some needed upgrades of equipment - on all levels - which has somewhat stalled some of my plans. After what must be considered a full and maybe fulfilled life, my father recently passed away, at the age of 85. I am still, along with my sister, sorting out the legal aspects that follow his passing. (My mother passed away many years ago.) As often is the case when parents pass away, there will now be some funds coming my way, which will allow me to invest in some new equipment. I have looked into and felt tempted to buy into Pentax again. However previous experiences of shooting with different brands may lead me to staying with only Canon. We'll see. Anyway, since I'm doing some spring-cleaning, I'm about to get rid of some old stuff that has been laying around or fallen into my lap. Following this message I will post another and list some items just in case someone might be interested in some creative trades or want to bid on something. (Just not cause any expectations I might emphasize that there probably won't be any real "goodies" from a Pentax shooter's point of view.)
