It was 1999-2000 when I was looking for a change. What I wanted at the time was a new top of the line body to replace my old F3/T ... and the F4/F5 were just too freekin big and heavy, didn't like the controls. For a less than TOL, the F100 was larger than I liked. The FM3a looked interesting but wasn't much different from my FMs and FE2 to warrant an upgrade. Right or wrong thing to do, I dunno. I have not regretted my decisions of the time. It's led me to where I am today, and I'm quite happy with what I'm shooting with now. If I had to move, I could go with a D200 pretty easily ... a fairly complete kit for my needs would be a body and three/four lenses which isn't such an awful amount of money, business wise .. but I'm optimistic that the 10Mpixel Pentax will do everything i need and actually be superior with its in-body AS. And of course the fabled mysterious Super Feature. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
