True - but I already have (some) great analog cameras. Basaically I was just rambling abuot financing a K10D by selling my 6x6 gear. I really dont miss shooting a lot of film, but I kept my 6x6 outfit because I have -until now- been able to convince myself, that the 6x6 image quality is superior to any Pentax DSLR. This "truth" is probably comming to an nd - with the K10D or the digital Pentax 645. Or is it?

The rock-bottom prices for great analogue camera's help as well: I can afford more and better gear. Which does not really help with photography, but is fun :o) -- Regards, Lucas (still eagerly awaiting the 645) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
