Dave, I'm coming from the same place Bruce is.
Time to expand your photographic horizons and push your limits. Get a cheap AF200T flash and try some TTL flash photos. You will be amazed by how easy it is to get good shots. Get a tripod and try some of those long exposure, night shots. Get a double exposure with the full moon in the frame. You have a sportscar sitting in the garage and are driving the old family station wagon. Cut loose a little and give that sports car a try! Regards, Bob S.

I assume it will work for the type of photography you do as well as the K1000 or is there something unique about it that the LX can't do. Since you have the LX, why not expand your horizons just a bit at a time? Take one feature and learn how to utilize it well. This can round out your skills as a photographer better. Learn how to shoot low light, learn how to shoot fast action, learn how to shoot macro, etc. Then you may find that you have a great camera now, rather than being limited in your learning by the K1000. I hope I am making some sense. Bruce Saturday, August 10, 2002, 7:58:08 AM, you wrote: DCS> Boy..
