Hi, Dan,
I didn't know that. I know that a number of the shows on that channel are

Well the picture in advertisment is divided in two halves - left is a body
of strong men (1/2 head and left arm as I remember) right half is body of
MZ-S (1/2 to be exact).

Actually I have seen ad of MZ-S with FA 24-90 (the one with half

I saw part of the Croc Hunter ad on TV a couple of weeks ago. What I saw
was entertaining and I was surprised to see an actual Pentax commercial on
the tube. Don't think I've ever seen Pentax advertise in anything other
than print.
Steve Irwin (Erwin?) will probably be as good a talking head forP
would I advertise my favorite Pentax camera? Well maybe a full page ;-)
