My son was competing in his first Pinewood Derby this evening (Scout thing if you're unfamiliar) and I decided to shoot the event with one of my LX kits. Normally I shoot these Scouting events with my digital camera so that I can email the photos off that evening to my father-in-law, who's big into the Boy Scout thing and likes to see the pics of his grandson. But tonight I decided to shoot film. I didn't go overboard in equipment; an LX body with the SMC-A 35-105, LX Winder, AF280T flash, and a grip B completed my ensemble. I received the following comments from the 200 or so parents in attendance: 1. Wow! That's some camera setup! 2. Are you with a newspaper? 3. Is that one of those new digital cameras? (Don't ask me what motivated that) 4. Are you the official photographer? (at least 1/3 of the adults had cameras in hand). 5. Pentax? I think I have one of those at home in a closet somewhere. and various permutations of the above. David< - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
