That's great news, Bob; congratulations. I must say, having had Cesar's D to play with last weekend, I'm mightily tempted. I think I'd not be able to go DS, though, as I'd likely need the bright viewfinder of the D for my manual focusing (such as it is... <g>). I understand that the DS has a penta-mirror, and I don't know how good that would be for those of us without AF lenses. Let me know if you can focus okay with the darker viewfinder, would you? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
