Thanks for the advice. Yup, we make some of the Pentax's in use out there. Of course most Filipinos does not even know that, or if they do, are proud of it. Listen to my anecdote: Over a year ago when the *istDS was first released, I went into a local Pentax shop to finally see a DS. The sales person immediately commented that it was cheaper than the *istD. Since I have not yet looked at any data or specification sheet, I asked "why?"
The sales person answered, "oh its because its made in the Philippines." :-\ On 2/24/07, Jens Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have an x-ray proof box, that works fine.
