Subject: Oh what a beautiful Pentax day!
> I received a call at work today - my MZ-S arrived from Pentax
> Colorado from its firmware upgrade to clear up its frame overlapping
> anomaly. Basically I dropped it off last Monday after work and it was sent
> out by my photo shop next day shipping to Pentax Colorado. Pentax sent it
> back Overnight UPS on Monday.
>
> I was anxious to get it back and specifically to see if the Pentax
> Functions I had set were still as I left them - they were. I left work a
> little early to go to the shop. What a stroke of luck! The Pentax rep was
> in town - did he plan to make sure my MZ-S made it to my hands????? ;-)
> Coincidence?? Just perfect timing!

> It gets better. After chatting with him a bit of this, that, and
> the other he asked me to go outside he had something for me. He handed me a
> Pentax golf umbrella! Pretty good, especially since it was raining at the
> time. He had fun when I took it in the store since all the sales clerks
> were envious ;-) The shop owner pointed out that I did not play golf, I
> just told him I needed it if I were to take pictures of him playing!
> Good-natured fun.

> I ended up spending almost an hour and a half at the store and
> mostly with the rep, I could not monpolize him, he was there to do business.
> I ended up with more than the umbrella. Through that time spent with the

> Pentax luggage tag
> Pentax Mag-Lite single AAA cell flashlight
> Pentax miniBuck folding lockblade pocket knife
> Pentax baseball cap

> I am still smiling. I also got to talk with him of things
> photographic and Pentax. It was grand, all the talk did not have to relate
> to Pentax, it was a refreshing talk with a rep. I also got to handle the
> 200 mm f4 FA* macro. Talk about beautifully balanced and light! I had no
> problem holding the combination with the MZ-S with one hand. And talk about
> nice manual focussing. I truly enjoyed handling the lens. Where do I put
> it on my lens to purchase list?
>
> Finally while discussing the void in my prime lens lineup between 50
> and 100mm we were discussing the merits of the 77 and 85 offerings. He
> finally turned to me and surprised me when he reached back into his bag and
> decided to lend me his own personal FA 77mm f1.8 Limited lens for a few days
> to let me see if I truly want to get this lens! Tomorrow night I will be
> using it at the squadron's playoff softball game! Iam quite sure that the
> 77 will be on my purchase list, but what a perfect opportunity to field test
> it!
>
> I also had a chance to see the smallest 3.1? megapixel digital
> non-point & shoot camera. Talk about small - definitely pocket sized and
> with manual and non-programmed controls! You would not even notice you had
> it with you. Could it supplant my Nikon Coolpix?
>
> It was the most memorable photographic afternoon I have had
> recently. I am still thinking about the opportunities to check out the 77
