I'd be eager to buy a FF camera without AF if it had the right combination of features & price. Imagine something like a Panny G1 with an FF sensor, any reasonable lens mount (Pentax K, Canon FD, Nikon, even M42), manual focus but auto-exposure -- at least no stop-down metering (which probably means not Leica mount), and preferably an AE auto mode. Not everyone's cup of tea, to be sure, even completely useless for many photographers, but at any price below the Sony 850 I think that would sell like hotcakes. -- 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.
