For some folks, there is a warmly felt appreciation for a craftsman like elegance that transcends the function of the tool itself. The H1a, etal., the Spotmatics and their K-mount cousins, the MX, the ME-Super and the LX. These each had and continue to have such an appeal to me. It's much like the fond appreciation I have for an old, brass mariner's sextant that was handed down to me. Of course GPS is easier and so much more accurate, but that sextant will shine with it's own appeal long after the plastic cased, non reparable GPS units have been replaced with another plastic doohickey. Folks who drive REO's will understand this to.

The K10D works better. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
