Did your pics look professional? That's all that matters I guarantee coming in with an MZ-3, a zoom lens, an old-fashion flash and a cheap tripod didn't do go a long way to making you appear like a pro. But who cares... you're not a pro so don't worry about it... Vic I shot B&W and develo

Orgin Myths

2002-09-08 Thread Margo Ellen Gesser
Hi Pentaxians, I am about to ask all of you a big question: Why ARE we using Pentax gear instead of other brands? My answer is simple: I started with a K1000 and when I was able to upgrade I wanted to keep my lenses so I bought the MZ-3. I also worked in a camera store that has now closed (sob) w

Dear Fellow Pentaxians, I have both a 35-80 FA lens and the 28-105 FA lens. It it my imagination, or in the 28-105 sharper? My SHARPEST lens is my 50mm 1.4. It's a manual focus, so I keep it on my K1000. Margo - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://ww
