Yes, it had occurred to me that almost everything we know about the Foveon has come through their press releases! That's why I'm much less effusivve about it than some other people. I'm willing to be surprised, though ;-) -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
