Wow. What a dream. So big and bright and easy to focus. I left the shutter on auto and pretty much left the aperture in the 2 and 2.8 neighborhood and the camera takes care of the rest. If the pictures come out nicely, I might actually be tempted to shoot film some more. This experience makes me really understand why people cry out for a full frame pentax. If I could just get a digital version of this. --- Sam -- Don't lose heart!

Joking aside, technology is a runaway rollercoaster. Hopefully they will be able to give us a nice bright new viewfinder sometime in the next 5 years, even if it is EVF instead of OVF. --- Sam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
