Hello Bob, Thank you for pointing this out, along by others. I think you can see them now. "Quick & dirty" job always ends up like this :-). Now I checked on my computer and things look OK. If you still cannot see them, I am going to take a nap first and go about it again :-). No, I'm not jumping the ship :-). I still have PZ-1p, 77MM Ltd Black and recently secured an FA50/1.4 and an FA35/2.0. I have several Canon lenses and a 35mm film body (and an APS too :-). These and a 645N kit will take care of my film needs, although PZ-1p seems like being orphaned. It is a big camera but I like it so much. But is not a digital after all, and time to say good bye to it. Sad. I am partial to a very portable, compact and light cameras (and lenses), and actually MZ3 was ideal for my film need but thought I would sell it while it would fetch some value. I do not know if I am doing anything rational here, though :-). Canon G3 has been satisfying most of my digital snap shooting need till now but it of course has limitations. What I want to do is to start the DSLR package with Pentax (of course) as I like their body (better view finder, compact size and AA batteries etc etc). I looked at 20D and RebelXT just because I have Canon lenses, but their lenses are generally too big, and *ist Ds more than satisfy my present needs (felt RebelXT was too small. Strange). So, I wish to start a new lens line up, a more compact kit. My next purchase would be a DA100mm Macro. 77mm would be a nice portrait lens. I have also to get a wide angle zoom DA 16mm〜45mmF4. I really do not mind an APS sized chip and actually wish them stay for a long while. FF size CCD would be nice but if it comes with the penalty of size/weight of body/lens, I am not interested in. On a flash front, I am going to buy an AF360FGZ. AF500FTZ is an excellent flash but is too big for me. I still even treasure an ancient AF16 manual flash for the indoor people shooting :-). It is so tiny and does not get in my way. It fits in my pocket easily. Most of the time when I need a flash, I do not need max power like 500FTZ (but I might buy a 500FGZ if it comes out compact). Every once in a while, I get an urge to start fresh. And PDML is another reason for staying with Pentax :-). Cheers, Ken
