If they called it a commemorative edition (LX Gold) I would think differently. But since they call it a Limited edition, I have to think that it is the end of the line for the Pentax 67. A lot of companies come out with a limited edition as the last model of a particular product. Perhaps they want to concentrate on the next generation 645 (digital back anyone?) or the "Mythical-magical Digital SLR. Christian

Ok, so are you guys saying that when a limited is produced, it is the kiss of death or that it is a badge of a job well done before retiring? LX2000? regards, Alan Chan _ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
