You guys are forgetting about the Great Plains, the breadbasket of the USA.

know what aperture he was using. But, he's a pretty picky guy, and if he's

Maris, the town is Victoria, BC, Canada. Head west, and when you get to the
coast, get on the ferry and go further west. Many retired people, many
university students, and many artists, which accounts for all the art
galleries. Also lots of deer in the suburbs, a popular snack for the
cougars.
Sometimes, too many choices is a bad thing. :-)

If light *has* to strike the sensor at an oblique angle, it would logically
follow that the chip has a blind spot at the center. So this cannot be
right, Bob.
IMO, it's pretty obvious that a microlens has an acceptable angle of view.
Within which, the light will trigger the right response in the s

In the metric system 'kilo' is 1,000 and 'mega' is 1,000,000. It is only

Hallo,
the smc-F 4-5.6 70-210 is a very good lens (with ED glas) and you can find
it in ebay for about 100 Euro.

Staring, for hours at a time, at the inner tension and geometric

Good luck Frank.
Sometimes we just need to
take some time to reorganize our lives.
Be patient and positive.

Let's keep in mind that this is a Pre-Production model and that Pentax did
not include any manuals to Phil Askey for review so he may have missed some
functionality.
On the plus side from what I've seen: excellent metering range; RAW mode;
