I'm not a Canon weenie, just tell him to get a real camera.

It is a pale reflection of the PDML, but it does exist. Several of the
contributors are very knowledgeable and one notable subscriber is a chap
called Henry Posner who runs, I believe, the second-hand photo gear dept
at B and H.



Very light traffic and no 'characters' like wot we got 'ere guv. I get
general bemusement if I mention Pentax lenses on EOS bodies. Like: 'why?'
Mind you, similar reaction here ;-)



Cheers,
