I'm new to Photoshop myself. I've looked around and come across the
following:
1. PHOTOSHOP USER Magazine
2. THE PHOTOSHOP CS BOOK FOR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHERS, by Scott Kelby

Not only is BH short of FA lenses but KEH in Atlanta Adorama in NYC
are short or out entirely.
Might Pentax release an entirely new lens line at Photokina? Some of
us oldtimers remember Pentax releasing an entire new lens line in the
past.

I'm thinking of trying 220 film with my 645. It has the obvious advantage of
doubling the number of shots per roll. And it supposedly has a flater film
plain. But can 220 film be loaded safely in daylight? (Particularly if
loaded in the shade.)

Jorgen,
You may have confused the price of the Contax NX with the Contax N1.
BH lists the Contax NX for $649.95 and the Pentax MZ-S for $799.95. They
are indeed comparable cameras at not quite comparable prices but it is the
MZ-S that's overpriced!
