Great minds think alike, Paul (not very modest, I know ;-) ). My K-7 is in the service for focusing screen calibration. Galia is shooting with K10D. I, meanwhile, finished a film in my trusty MZ-6. Shooting with FA 20/2.8 at full frame throttle was surprisingly pleasant. And too, I couldn't show Galia the pictures right after taking them ;-).
