This is a mailing list about Pentax equipment and photography. We share a bond, but that doesn't mean that we agree (or indeed should agree) about anything else. Especially international history and politics. Obviously, some people here love the British Empire, and some hate the British Empire. But don't we all love Pentax gear? Let's get back to what bonds us together as an international community. Mark p.s., what's your favorite macro lens? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
