Seems strange, however, that Pentax moved from the big, plastic blobs of the PZ series to the retro Zx-5n (a fav of mine) which operates the same as the MZ-S only to return to this notion that lenses should be controled through the body for the digitals. > > > ...

Yeah, I figured they did since the first j-series lenses without aperture rings came out with the *ist film cameras, correct? Anyway, what I'm most sorry to learn is that even the FA's need to be controlled this way on the DSLR's. Oh well. I plan on shooting film for along time yet so how much of an impact on me it will have remains to be seen. -Brendan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
