Hi, Robert,

I have no interest in digital photography right now, nor can I see myself taking
the plunge anytime soon.  I must admit that if the costs come down, and Pentax
or someone else comes out with a k-mount body, I'd consider it.

But, I do love film, and I'm still (after 30 years) learning what I can and
can't do with it.  I'd like to get a dark room going, and learn what I can and
can't do with that.  I've got a long way to go before I've completely explored
b&w film, let alone what digital can do.  So, even if I do eventually go digital
someday, I can't see it replacing film for me, only supplementing it.

I must admit that I do enjoy the digital meanderings of this list, along with
all the wailing and gnashing of teeth regarding Pentax' foot-dragging on their
DSLR.  But for me, it's just interesting reading at this point.  As I've said on
this list before, I think film has a long life ahead of it yet, if somewhat
diminished due to digital inroads.

Let me congratulate you on starting a great thread.  It's fun to see all of us
"quiet" (of late) non-digitalians suddenly rearing our heads and roaring!

regards,
frank
