Hi, I'm reading Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Richard & Nicholas Crane. It's about an ultralight bicycle ride they made in the mid 80s from Chittagong in Bangladesh to the point on the earth's surface that is most remote from the sea in all directions - the centre of the earth - just north of Urumqi. 3313 miles in 58 days, across the Himalayas, on racing bikes.
Guess what? They took a Pentax MX and 3 lenses: 28, 50 and 120mm. They had previously taken the MX to the summit of Kilimanjaro, and the length of the Himalayas. Quote: "Eventually the light meter shook loose, but only after 1000 kilometres of dirt road - most other cameras we have tried in the past fall to bits much quicker" -- Cheers, Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
