Butch, in the formula I just sent, be aware that the formula returns the value of the character whose number is 1 less than the row number - take out the minus 1 and the two will correspond - just makes it a little easier to make sense of it! John Coyle Brisbane, Australia - Original Message

I know you are required, as a member of the Canon Believers, to disparage all things Pentax, but you missed the point. You compared the price of the Canon body to the Pentax body AND LENS, then complained that the Pentax body cost more than the Canon body. I was merely curious about the price

My apologies. I retract my statement regarding the pricing as I missed the and from Pat's original email. If this is the case - the cost of the Pentax should be adequately competitive. I'll await it's arrival and see how it fares against the Canons and Nikons. Dave -Original Message-

Ha, this could lead to a series of off-beat jokes. However, seriously, I doubt any radiation level that is safe to have in your body is likely to be a problem, except maybe with the most sensitive films. You may remember that the SMC 50/1,4 Takumar is somewhat radioactive too. Ciao, Graywolf

Bill, The radiation emmited from the seeds will not likely be effected by a lens. Lenes are designed to shape the path of light, not other forms of radiation. Maybe just sit in the darkroom with a sheet or two of photographic paper around your belly and back for 20 min . . .
