Funny you should mention the MZ-S. It took me FOREVER to sell it even though I knew I had no further use for it. I just loved the ergonomics of it that much. More to the point, as I was shooting today at the zoo with the K10D tripod mounted just a few inches above eye level, I was reminded once again of how totally cool the slanted top panel of the MZ-S was in such situations. It allowed me to read the settings and keep track of changes very easily from different angles of view. Plus it just looked neat :o) That seemed like such a slick *and* practical design. I haven't a clue why it never transferred to future camera designs. -- 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.
