I like this one. The backlight is pretty, and the foreground trees are accurately exposed. Good work. Paul On Feb 10, 2007, at 2:29 PM, Peter Lacus wrote: > Hi Boris, > >> http://not.contaxg.com/document.php?id=16638&full=1 > > lucky you, it's still cold over here. Nice moody picture. > > Curiou

Re: In "rumours" category ...

I set up the K10D control wheels to operate similarly to the *ist DS in like modes. But I've decided to sell both DS bodies and standardize on the K10D, so I'll get a second body. That is if I don't do something silly like buy something completely different for the fun of it. Godfrey On F

RE: In "rumours" category ...
