I appreciate the verve, enthusiasm, and good intentions with
which you made that statement but 5 years ago was 1997 and
computers were a lot more powerful than you give them credit for
being. Unless you have some good, recognized references for a
statement like that, you shouldn't make it.

Think back about how many times you've heard someone here on the
PDML express a wish for a new model Pentax.
Well, at least we won't have to wait years for a new flagship
digital camera.
The whole key to buying digital cameras is to get one that fits
your needs and keep it until it doesn't fit yo
But the FA 43 f/1.9 just doesn't seem to inspire the fervor,
neither here nor on ebay, that the original pancake does, so
maybe the 3mm longer and the f/1.9 aperture just doesn't equate
to a genuine pancake lens. Perhaps folks want their lenses
small and soft, relatively speaking, because the pa
You are just missing an autofocus teleconverter. That's all you
need to autofocus a manual focus lens on an AF body.

It definitely bugs me, too. It's why I generally pass up many
questions, because I know my answer won't show up until several
others already have. It kind of inhibits spontaneity, doesn't
it?

Actually, letting sunlight stream through the lens a bit more
frequently is a pretty good preventive measure. Lenses that
don't get used very often are at higher risk of fungus
infection.

Have you tried WebWasher? It's pretty good popup ad killer.

The miracle of the SMTP bucket brigade. Sometimes, I appear to

What kind of resolution do you think it takes to do a very good
4 x 6 print? I could show you some printed on an HP PhotoSmart

Congratulations! You've started it all out right, too. Keep
shooting those pictures. The baby and the pictures get even
more precious as time goes by.

Great seeing you guys! We need more of these get togethers,
even though I can't be in attendance. Maybe we could figure out
a place and time for an Illinois get together. There are
several PDML folks in Illinois.

I know everyone has to start somewhere but I'd be really
concerned with the fact that this is the sellers first auction.
The buyer has all of the risk. With no feedback, you have
nothing use to judge whether he is a good risk or not. Other
people may have other opinions but I recommend using a l
That's the basic truth. If camera stores knew that you could
buy stuff cheaper direct from Pentax, how many camera stores do
you think would carry the Pentax line of equipment?
Personally, I believe that Pentax should open an online store
and sell their stuff at better prices (cheaper) because i
