Interesting. That's exactly where I was headed when I encountered this list. I have a K1000 SE, but there's something in the finder that I'm told will cost more than a replacement used camera to fix. I have a P3 and just bought a P3n today. [The film rewind mechanism on the former doesn't work properly; and I know that P3n's are not a fully mechanical, but they are a lot cheaper than MX's.] That said, at the risk of insubordination, from where I stand now the cost of film and processing, and especially the disconnect between what I do and the results I get make me hesitant about going back to film completely, even temporarily. That does not mean I am not open to guidance regarding this. Sincerely, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net P.S. I forgot to say that I have an Olympus XA which I was using exclusively until I got the ist* DS. My pattern was to shoot several rolls of film before getting them processed, by which time I had no idea what I'd done when I shot the pictures. -- 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.
