While I owned the K1000, I used to take it outdoors in the winter in sub-zero weather. Just had to store it in a plastic baggie to avoid condensation. I haven't dared to try that with my MZ-5. -- Michael Moore - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Intelligent move :-) The options are not mutually exclusive -- Pentax should take advantage of all options where the expected marginal return will exceed the company's cost of capital. -- Michael Moore - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

The later version is made in China or Taiwan (can't remember which now) and has a *plastic* top and bottom.

Yesterday, Adorama emailed me a quote of 899.95 -- must be inflation! -- Michael Moore - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
