very true. I still look at all of those shots I took in India with the DS and the FA 20-35 and don't think "if only I had another camera". -----Original Message----- From: "Brian Walters" <supera1...@fastmail.fm> Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Sat, 02 Oct 2010 10:52:34 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<pdml@pdml.net> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Re: It ain't like it used to be.
