RE: a day of firsts
César, I'm just catching up too...I developed and printed my first roll of 120 last night, so I was up until 3:00 a.m. I had forgotten about the 110's at Forester's. Howell's had a couple in the display case just as you enter the store the last time I was in. I hope that your stay here is enjoyable. I had a great time at our get together friday and hope that you can make it out again this way soon. William in Utah. >William, > I am finally catching up with the list.

RE: a day of firsts
Tom, William, Yes the M200/4 is the one Tom sold me. It is the first time I have had a chance to take it out to use. I was going to leave it behind until Tom kind of talked me into taking another lens with me - it is so small. I did not expect it what with mey using the A*300/4 quite a bit. Hey, if I can get Tom to check out my LX and enable him along the way - that has to worth something!! By the way, I am using another screen in the LX - sorry I do not have the number or documentation handy. It is the one mentioned here about being used with slower lenses and does not have the split center. I thought I would try it since I am going to try low light photography eventually. I love it! I thought I had gotten used to the split center and it felt weird every time I used the ZX/MZ-5, but it just feels right with the LX.

RE: a day of firsts
tv, I had no idea you have never seen one. It did not matter, for I don't think I even had a camera with me on that trip. I guess the next time I go to Baltimore I will have to bring one of them with me. Maybe my original one I showed William - talk about brassing! It looks as if it has been to war and is ready to go back.

RE: a day of firsts
William, I am finally catching up with the list. I have to add that I had a great time Friday afternoon. With your insights on the place and locales I am sure it will make my short stay here more enjoyable. Congratulations on the photographic job. I most definitely get in touch whenever I come this way again. You would have enjoyed it earlier today. I had the LX on one shoulder and the MX on the other. Sprinkling rain did not even slow me one bit in taking photos. Well, yes it did, I had to wipe the water drops off the front element of the 28 and 50. It was nice to have the hoods on the 135 and 200. César Still in Utah P.S. I really enjoyed Foster's Camera. I will be going again on Monday take another look at some of the AS IS screwmount lenses they have. They even had a couple of Auto 110s!! > -Original Message- > From: William Johnson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 9:38 PM > To: pentax discuss > Subject: a day of firsts > > Hi everyone, > > Today was an exciting day for me.

Re: a day of firsts
Hey tom, he also had your old M200/4 with him... at least I think that is the lens he said he bought from you. Man, I thought that only in _Utah_ could anyone go so long without seeing a real live LX. I just can't get over how well balanced it was and how well it fit the hand. (how's my enabling? ;-)) Yes, getting paid is fun. I need to do more of it. Thanks, William in Utah. >Hey! Cesar didn't show *me* his LX! He's a good guy >anyway, haha >Congrats on getting paid.
