In this count, update 17, the Pentax ME is missing entirely, and there are only 61 menbers listged as having contributed. The post I just read previous to this had 42 MEs listed, and had 473 members!

I don't do street photography, but sometimes photograph during church services or in classes, Ya know, since cameras are not sold or used with cases these days, a camera quiets down very nicely with the lower half of the case mounted on the camera. Pentax even made a case where there was a flap for the shutter release and a hole for the lens to protrude. The later vertical focal plane shutters are quieter the the horizantal focal plan shutters. However, I have yet to have a focal plane shutter die on me. Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: Most Used Body Survey
Until I got the LX, the ME S was most used, but then the LX overshadowed it big time. I now find the LX to be too big, too noisy, and too cumbersome for most photography that I do, and the MX gets used more often. I think that for those who are fortunate enough to have numerous bodies to use (not necessarily own but to use and experiment with), they may find that their most used body changes as more experience with different bodies is garnered and as their photography changes. Those who consistently photograph a particular way or subject, or who have not had the chance to explore the many camera options that are available, may well find that they have a favorite or most used body. Sometimes using a different body may contribute to changing one's photographic style or interest. For example, having an LX and certain accessories has made my entry into macro and close-up photography easier. That's not to say the same work couldn't be done with a Spotmatic, but for me the LX has eased the transition into this new area of photography. Bruce Dayton wrote: An example for me was, when I had PZ-1p's, I liked the MX body more, but I almost never used it because the PZ-1p was so capable. I guess this question drives towards what people feel is most applicable to their needs rather than what feels nice or brings back memories. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/darkroom-rentals/index.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: Most Used Body Survey
Totally true. However, I only have one working camera body right now- Super A, so that is my most used body. When I get my Spotmatic fixed and another screwmount body (hopefully soon), I'll have a couple more operational cameras. I plan on getting another Super Program or two as well, as I like the camera- some faults in user interface, but overall I'm happy with it and would like a backup body. I want to have the TTL flash metering and some of the other electronic features of the Super Program/Super A that are not available on the earlier bodies. Also, it's one of the latest MF bodies and I plan on augmenting the bodies with a bunch of MF primes and maybe a zoom telephoto- 70-210 or something like that.

Re: Most Used Body Survey
I just got done doing some sorting and crunching to send an answer to Albano (my answer depends on how/whether he breaks down the class of pre-Spotmatic M42 bodies (oh, I just received an answer on that while editing this message!)), but I did notice a couple of things to consider... I was looking at number or rolls shot per type-of-body (I don't track individual bodies if I have more than one of a model) from 1997 to the present (705 rolls). Obviously, some bodies have a head start on others by virtue of my having owned them longer. And now that I've got multiple bodies, each gets a smaller percentage of the film I shoot than when I only had one. As it turns out, the #1 body comes out the same anyhow, but #2 and #3 change depending on the time frame I look at. -- Glenn - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re[2]: Most Used Body Survey
Glenn, I think it would be most interesting to choose the most used at the present time. I used my old PZ-1p's more than my new MZ-S's by virtue of how long I had them, but I don't even have them anymore. The idea here is to give us your best guess as to usage. My hunch is that many of us may use the newer bodies more than we care to admit, but actually enjoy using the older bodies more. That's what the Favorites list is for.
