Welcome to a prodigal son! While you were gone Pentax went through a few transformations and then finally produced a FF body with a whole family of new lenses. Negative reaction from this list (e.g., the 18-180/2.0 should have been a 17-178/1.4, the new 200/2.8 macro should have been a 197, 15FPS with a buffer of only 45 RAW shots were inadequate for fast paced sports like cricket, etc.) convinced Pentax to withdraw the whole line-up within a few weeks. ;-) We are waiting to see what happens next.
Other than that, things are much the same. Sometimes I think the Vulture should have been the PDML Official Bird rather than the lovable cormorant. stan On Sep 5, 2013, at 5:28 PM, Bruce wrote: > Hello, > > I thought I would introduce myself.
