I have to say that I agree. I just don't see the point of the K-01. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to use it with anything longer than (say) 150mm lenses? With a DSLR you brace the camera against your hand/head with the other had holding the lens and elbow braced against the body. How are you meant to hold all this away from your face while trying to compose?? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- 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.
