Thanks. It wasn't clear to me that you were writing about one person putting up a number of pictures - I thought you were saying that, despite the large number of pictures shown, you didn't think the lenses were any good for that job. I think I disagree with you - I know many people who could outshoot me with an Espio. It's _not_ the equipment. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
