try a 100mph in an old Kombi and you'll know what scared is. It had a
hot 2.2 litre VW engine but still handled like crap

before the shitty Taurus I now own I had a 308 VN Commodore and took it
to 200kph (which is probably similar to 130mph) before I chickened out.
Wasn't another car on the road though. Not in the same class as the
Shelby of course. I've been in a VW Golf GTI thats speedo was in MPH up
to 135mph,
Start talking motorcyles and there is only one dream machine and it
isn't that old but certainly a classic- The Britten V-Twin

They went nice in a straight line, a bit like the Kawasaki 500 mach III.
The best Kwaka I ever rode was a Z1R II 1100, now they could handle

I think if you are using tele lenses often MLU is well worth having. I
seem to remember shooting at 1/4 sec (or it was some similar slow speed)
that MLU is advantageous also. My 645N doesn't have it and I don't

What would I like to see from Pentax? An extension of the FA limited

K-mount lenses on a $1000 DSLR. Something more like a full-frame

Great looking camera, just like the awesome maxxum 7 :-). Sorry couldn't
resist, I'm a MF Pentax shooter but I guess you know my 35mm brand.
Can't wait to try IS on all my existing Maxxum lenses. I'm sure Pentax
will follow suit. It is a shame it can't be done with film cameras as it
is
Btw, does anyone think the name konica minolta looks stupid? Are
they really going to make it the final product? :-o
awful isn't it. I wonder how long it will be till the Minolta part is
dropped and they will just be Konica. How could anyone say they are a
proud Konica owner :-(
