Good point. I'm a big guy so no problem for me but others might find it tiresome. I had no trouble with a 1DmII and 70-200/2.8 but that combo is certainly not a rig I would go out all day with. I'd be interested in a Pentax FF and would slap my 85 on it right away. Would otherwise be looking for a wide zoom, something like a 16-35 or so. Pentax make anything in that range? If I'm going out and about, my lil X10 (hopefully soon to be X20) will accompany me. If the money is there, an X100s as well. Sadly I have a huge shopping list to sort out before I get past the X20 which includes a new HD camera body (c £9k) and a self-pointing KA Sat dish (another 7.5k) not to mention a decent mp4 encoder (6k). Too much!!! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Producion ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- 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.
