One? I count three, at least.
Sure an improved *istD will come, but I don´t see any reason to
panic. Neither do I think they´ll stop producing dslr´s, they´ve
invested too much, or go bankrupt the next two years.
Also, most of my lenses are A-type. They are 20 years old and work
just fine. With some inconvenience the M´s work too, but I do admit
that I´m slowly switching to FA´s and DA´s (except for the A*85 and
A*135).

umm are you saying pentax should stick with current
"one model" DSLR strategy and never offer a range
of DSLR with different specs and features? I say
if they continue to do that they will be out of
business in no time and ALL pentax lenses not just
half of them will become "obsolete".

Sure, and I mostly look at the pictures instead and find that the
1Ds mkII
wouldn't make much of a difference.
Anyone (with enough money) GET TO BUY a 1Ds mkII. The only
difference is
that some of you insist on having the "Pentax" trademark on it. I
stick to
Pentax because I think compact, good primes with large aperture are
more
important to my photography than full frame, many pixels and
pictures per
second. If I though anything else I'd have another trademark on them.
I just don't see why you make such a fuzz about it. If you could
afford the
1Ds mkII (or Pentax equivalent) an extra lens or two wouldn't make
much of a
price difference...

equipment? I'd better buy a 1Ds MkII then... .-)

place these new images side by side with some 30 year old shots and
you will
see why such old shots aren't publishable any longer. i have birding
books
from the late 60's to 70's. amazing for their time, completely
unpublishable
today because they don't meet today's standards for sharpness, let
alone
content. this guy is an amateur and there are now thousands of
people
like
him out there producing similar images. that's the difference that
technology makes.

Manual film advance would be difficult, but sequences like this
were regularly taken with manually focused, manual exposure movie
cameras for
about 75 years. It's amazing how quickly skills are forgotten,
let
alone
lost. The fact that this was done with a still camera is just
about
amazing. (But I though that the first time I saw it).
