So many questions! Well, I haven't picked up my film cameras since I got the *istD - the novelty still hasn't worn off, and I really do like the idea of shooting and "not paying for it". I certainly do shoot more now, without that financial constraint hanging over my head. I carry it with me at all times, even to work in my bike bag. I find I'm still not doing much street stuff, and I think there are several reasons for that. First of all, I don't have a computer with PS or any other imaging software in it, so I can't convert to B&W. Also, I really don't to good street with a biggish (relatively speaking) zoom lense. I think I need a short prime to stick on it - the "new pancake" may be just the ticket. Still, I think I prefer an RF (like my little Leica) for the street - I really should pull her out this weekend and go shooting. If nothing else, the *istD has kick-started my desire to get out and shoot! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
