Hello Alex I'm glad I'n not the only one with a F717. Your shots are very nice. I like your butterfly the best. It's brilliant. Perfect focus/DOF. I believe digital is better for close-ups (greater DOF due to smaller format) than landscapes, where resolution is often crusial. Actually I'm a little afraid to get disappointed with the *ist D (should I ever get one) - it's just one more MP at the cost of 300% of that of the SONY. www.dpreview says it's the best resolution they have seen yet on a 5MP camera. They even compare the image quality with that of the Olympus E-1! AS I have said before, I can'ot believe Pentax hasn't made a digital camera like this (all-in-one). It would porbably be a great success.
Anyway, I'm planning to sell some analog lenses and bodies, I never use (M85, A135, A50, M50, A35-80, P30, P50, K1000, Z1) to help finance a *ist D. I will, of course let you all know before I put it up for sale at ebay. I'll (Probably) keep my best lenses and my recently purchased MZ-S.
