Just wait until the high end version of the camera comes out. Small, sturdy, EVF and 24x36 sensor. I think that I could enjoy a 20mm f/1.4 non-retrofocus lens on a 24x36 sensor. I could pretend that it's a Leica or something. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
