As you point out, that might not be a horrible strategy after all -- as long as Pentax is basically using it for advertising and sets their sales figures appropriately. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> The Definitive Pentax P-TTL Flash Model Guide: <http://pttl.mattdm.org/> -- 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.
