Became very occasional to nil. I can't help but taking the Leica along on trips, but it rarely gets used. It did take me a couple of months to get used to doing street photography with a non-mechanical camera. > Did your subsequent actual film use match your prior expectations? Kind of. A couple of rolls I took in the Leica in London (while my 2GB card downloaded to the ipod) were dissapointing. I suppose the pictures weren't worse than the istD ones, but the time delay in seeing them made them less worth the effort. > For users who had Pentax SLRs prior to purchasing a Pentax DSLR did you end up > buying one or more new lenses specifically to suite the DSLR? I got the 16-45 with the body, and then bought an A35-70/4 to replace my FA28-70/4 with the separated elements. The main lens in it is the FA35/2, which I've had for years. j -- Juan Buhler http://www.jbuhler.com blog at http://www.jbuhler.com/blog
