Of course not. Generally speaking, neither does the photography store employee. They're there to sell stuff, not give good advice. Good, fast, cheap, pick two; the only place the local store can compete is on fast, and that's only if they carry substantial inventory. I can and probably will get better advice online, starting here, than I'm ever going to get in the store. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
