I agree with you. I always travel light, bringing the minimum amount of equipment for the conditions I expect to encounter - usually just one body and a maximum of two (rarely three) lenses. I'm more than happy with my Pentax body - I don't need 8fps. All I really want is a high-quality 400mm auto-focus prime. Is that asking too much? ;-) <snip> > I agree, which is why I said that few of us are chucking our digital > gear.

Nothing like fondling a big strong lens to get that tingly feeling! ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.
