Me too. What sold me on the routine is that I asked my local shop what they were doing that cost me $50 a pop, and this technique is pretty much what they do. They recommended I try it instead of forcing them to charge me for cleaning (and no, they don't sell supplies). Having done it 3-4 times also, I have to say I'll never be comfortable with it, but I know what needs to be done and it goes pretty fast. Which is good, cus I hold my breath until the camera's closed up again. --skye -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
