lost my posting virginity I figured I would properlyintroduce my self. Some of
you might recognize me from my veryinfrequent posting at dpreview or
steves-digicams. I really do nothave enough time to follow those groups any

s for a web based business. My first real camera wasa SF-10 that was given to
me in 1989. I used it pretty regularly forabout three years before I got
frustrated with both the results, theprocess of having film developed and
trying to understand what I wastrying to do at the time I took the photo. When
digital came about Iimmediately recognized the ability for rapid feed back and
got hookedagain.> As most digital shooter I have played the constant upgrade
game. Myfirst digital was a Nikon 900S. I moved to a Canon G1, then anOlympus
E-20n and then to the *istD. My naïve thought when I boughtthe *istD was that
the lenses I had for the SF-10 would be sufficient. It did not take long for me
to discover that the two cheapo Sigmazooms I had were not going to give me the
best of what the cameracould offer. So after spending hundreds of dollars I am
still a lousyphotographer often frustrated by my results….> Since I have been

politics in general, lack of full K mount support onPentax digital bodies or
any other thread that seems to never end.> Thanks for letting me lurk and I
hope I can contribute something to the list.> Perry.>
