The proof of the pudding is in the tasting - I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of results you get out of this thing. So far the images of the cameras themselves I've seen online haven't really moved me. They look... "weird" for lack of a better word. A real-world usage report would be interesting after you've had the time to put it through its paces. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- 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.
