Re: The Urge

Are you kidding? It's obviously even greater than the self-preservation urge. I think my wife won't notice that the camera I'm carrying says K10 on it instead of the usual K100, but within minutes she busts me. And K5 looks a lot different from K7. I'm a dead man. Jeffery On Oct 10, 2010, at 4

Re: The Urge

The K5 and the K7 are essentially identical. Of course, that doesn't mean you're wrong about your wife. It's clearly embedded in the female genome. There must have been a Cro Magnon equivalent to new cameras to select out the trait. "That new rock? You spend cave money on new rock? What wrong

I think everybody gets "the urge". The question is whether you succumb. It's not a new thing; I bought new film bodies occasionally, too. The first "upgrade" was to replace my Spotmatic II with an MX. Then, on an assignment on the other side of the world (New Zealand) I made my travel plans to i
