Since it has to be consistent naming, you could either go with D-marks (both Canon and Nikon have a D in their top of the line offerings) or if you lean towards Canon's EOS 1D/1Ds you could go with a "Markmarks" index... whatever turns you on I guess as Pentax are consistently showing themselves unable to develop a naming convention of any kind - or perhaps you could roll with Kennyboy and use "Velviamarks" ]=) Cheers Ecke -- 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.
