PMA Sydney - Playing with the Oly EP-1
G'day all A friend and I spent a couple of hours this morning at the PMA Sydney (Photo Marketing Association) biennial imaging technology show at Darling Harbour. The exhibition comes to Sydney every two years (although we missed out in 2007 due to APEC). All of the big and not so big players in photography were there and, as usual, Pentax was disappointing. Kennedys had (I think) three K7s available to play with but it was difficult to get at them so I didn't bother. It looks good and nicely sized but it would have been nice to be able to fondle one. I know Pentax is only one of a number of manufacturers that Kennedy represents in Australia and they needed to make space available on their stand for all of them, but it would have been nice to have been able to get easier access to the cameras. I was also interested in looking at the Epson stand but their printer offerings seemed to be mainly the higher end models - certainly beyond anything I can afford in the foreseeable future - so I moved on. Fondling was available at the Olympus stand. All of their current models were there and in sufficient numbers to permit close inspection. There were about a dozen or more EP-1s. The EP-1 is (in my view) outstanding, lack of optical viewfinder notwithstanding. I loved it (so did my friend) - I'd really like one of those. It looks so much like a point-and-shoot camera that it comes as a bit of a surprise to hear the focal plane shutter firing. After seeing this camera, I've become a bit nostalgic - I might risk putting a role of film through my Pen FT. I really hope that there in something like this under development at Pentax Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

In our case, in the first week we lost the entire roof and ceilings etc above two rooms and the staircase on one side of the house, to enable them to be built into full height rooms and extend the staircase up another floor over the existing. The large loft room dormer frame is now up and fitting out begins next week as well.
