Walt: There are really terrific, especially the picture of the group of penguins. As I recall from an earlier posting of yours, these are from the 1970s, are they not? I wonder what that stretch of Antarctica looks like now. Best, Micah On Mar 18, 2008, at 4:05 PM, Walter Hamler wrote:

That is a really beautiful picture. Let me ask -- and apologies if this already came up -- one question, which hopefully will also help decrease the urge to run up a credit card and buy the K20D: beyond the higher megapixel count, has anyone compared the performance of the Samsung CMOS with

It beats DHL; their way of describing the status of a package makes no sense. Out for Delivery may be frustrating, but at least it's clear. On Mar 5, 2008, at 10:32 AM, Charles Robinson wrote: > Sometimes I think that the online tracking for UPS is more of a curse > than a blessing. I keep ref

Does anyone have any experience with the Tokina AF 20-35mm f/2.8? It's a constant aperture wide angle lens. BH has it for $299, which seems like a good price. Thanks, Micah -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
