Godfrey, Just like your friend, I've also wanted to travel the world on a bus since I was a kid. I'm so envious! But then I saw the picture of the gas pump... Eeeek! I'd be happy to hear what you think of the Riccoh GXR (off-list if you feel it's more appropriate). I'll be receiving one this week with the 28mm and 50mm modules to review. I've never used a Ricoh and I'm curious given the underground cult status of the brand. Happy travels! —M. \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
