They're more reachable but still out of the range I want to spend at this point. I don't shoot enough film to make it worth the expense. I would have gone that way a few years ago if the gains from DSLR captures hadn't made it clear to me that for my photography film was now a second citizen in capture media. I debate even the wisdom of that $500 for the V700 when the 2450 does as well as it does. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
