That was also a long time ago when Keppler was using Olympus gear. Yes, every so often he complains about some features that have been dropped from SLRs, but now he mostly gushes over every feature laden, fly weight entry level SLR. If you look at Photo Industry Reporter (http://www.photoreporter.com/2002/06-17/index.html) you'll see Keppler working the industry side of the street. He may sell to the consumers, but I think that he views himself as part of the industry that he tries to help as much as possible.
From: Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bruce, I cannot argue with your statement for nowadays (since I don't buy too many photo mags anymore), but, back in the 1970's and through much of the 1980's, in the late-but-great Modern Photo magazine, Keppler's column could almost always be relied upon for good, solid photo information, including an interest in quality photo gear and a general (although not universal) disdain for every whiz-bang gadget to come down the photo 'pike. Gee, that was a long sentence... Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
