According to production figures for MedF, the future looks very dark indeed. The best bet we have is a rather outdated press release about cooperation between Kodak and Pentax, alledgedly over a digital 645. > How about the film bodies? Is there an *Ist successor yet?

There's an Optio 4s now. More pixels per altoid...:-) > And what's all this PAW stuff? Picture A Week. Post a pic to a web-location near you, and provide PDML with the link for scrutiny and comments. Shel Belinkoff brought the idea along from a Leica list, and it has really caught on. Another thing you might have missed is that the PUG server at komkon has passed out of service. We are now set up with a interim solution at Adelheid's private webspace, while working to establish something permanent elsewhere. It's looking good, though, thanks to John Francis. The current PUG is at Adelheid's, at: http://www.kirschten.de/PUG/04apr The submission form is still at my site: http://www.oksne.net/autopug/pugform.asp Btw, welcome back! Hope you get a scanner going soon. Cheers, Jostein
