My choice of words may have been inaccurate - the aperture is not locked into one setting, but can be set via the body so it stays constant through the zoom range. I'm not sure of the precise definition of 'dedicated flash' - I thought it meant that the shutter speed was automatically fixed, not the aperture. By your definition, the LX does not have flash dedication. And while I don't want to quibble with what is probably just your choice of words... photographers, serious or silly, really have every right to own and use whatever gear they like. - MCC - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Kalamazoo, MI [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - Photos: http://www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
