Well, there's here, of course... And that's about it, really. I started off on Peter Jonkman's Spotmatic list (being as until about 10 years ago that was the only camera I had), found out about this list, and that's been it ever since. I don't really have time for more. Hell, these days I hardly have time for this one. Spent a bit of time over at Leica Users Group (LUG) about 5 or 6 years ago. It was fun for a while, then it got boring. > > Are there any sites, which aren't for discussion, but still worthwhile > checking, or avoiding? Ned? The Online Photographer? Kennyboy? > unsubstantiatedwildrumors.com? I'm not a gearhead, so I spend very little time on these. I check in on the Online Photographer about once a month, that's about it. Any equipment concerns I have are dealt with on PDML. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.
