Granted, they aren't fixed lens cameras, but in their configuration some of the Alpas are functionally like fixed lens cameras. They don't look like they'd be very handy for quick change of lenses, and extra lenses on their boards would be very UNhandy to carry about. But a set up Alpa looks sweet. I'd love to hit the streets with an Alpa 12 TC, http://www.alpa.ch/en/products/cameras/camera-bodies/alpa-12-tc.html It's got the kind of presence that says, "Never mind me, I'm just a photographer going about my business. I'm certainly not a creepy old guy with a big, expensive black camera". regards, Anthony -- 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.
