Right on, brother! One of the people I tutor in photography would certainly benefit from this, and I expect this isn't an isolated case. If some manufacturer made a DSLR that a real digital equivalent of the K1000 (manual focus, manual exposure), I expect they'd be able to sell them to lots of colleges and other places that teach photography courses. I don't expect it to happen, because I don't think this market alone would be big enough to support the product. And I can't envision any other buyers for it because most of the "manualness" would have to be implemented through software (in order to avoid designing an entirely new camera from scratch), so it wouldn't cost significantly less than an equivalent camera with many more bells and whistles. Nice idea, but I don't see it happening... :( -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
