Beware not to confuse "digital" with "electronical" or "mechanical". My MX is
mechanical, an MZ-S is electronical, but none of them are digital.

Hi Alan,
In my industry and business in general, the computer revolution has
created more jobs. If there is a shift, like on-line banking or buying on

I wonder what the employment numbers in IT are now? Considering there
was no such indust

I am native I know. But digital does not make things better. Just look at
the unemployment rate all over the world due to computing automation. As far
as I can see, computers are here to take over our jobs. :(

Yes,
Let us travel to Photokina. Let us pay exspenses for shipping
people, materials, security and supplies. Let us put it in a locked
safe and show no one outside of our own company. Let us waste more
money that could be used to turn around this bloated wasteball of a

Why not? It's very common. All manufacturers do this. Photokina is the biggest meeting
place between the manufacturer sand their distributors. This gives an opportunity to

One thing I have learned about Pentax is they sneak
things onto market and don't blow their horns. I have
a feeling IS 645 lenses are on their way.

Pentax has always been very silent about new products until
