Me too. In fact the PZ-1p purchase was pretty expensive, because that was also when I first picked up some AF lenses (including the 28-105 zoom that's still doing sterling service). And the *ist D was even worse - $1695 for the body, and $200 or so for the grip. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
