Some meanings, off the top of my head: Lens lines: T - Tolerable P - Pleasing K - Keen M - Magnificent A - Awesome F - Fabulous FA - F*cking Awesome DA - Damn Awesome DFA - Damn F*cking Awesome Limited - Light-Inducting Mechanical Iris To Enable Daguerreotypes * [star] - :-* [how you feel after spending the money to buy one] SMC - Silly Maternal Chatting AF - Aggressive Frolicking IF - Insecure Fondler ED - Erectile Dysfunction AL - Alfredo Linguine SAFOX - Simple Application of Foreign Optics [variable] SR - Shake Redaction SDM - Spend Da Moneys DR - Dollar Removal SP - Slim Pickings M42 - Man, Don't Panic PRIME - Purposefully Removing Inexpensive Mechanics to Exacerbate (JCO, et al) ;-) Any I missed? John P.S.: If you want the real meanings, I can supply those. Just thought I'd have a little fun first. P.P.S.: Too much time on my hands? No, just easily amused. -- http://www.neovenator.com http://www.cafepress.com/neovenatorphoto -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
