Paul, Hi I noticed that, camera and lens evolution really is hard to keep up with. It finally ended for film cameras and lenses with the advent of digital. I still have 3 Pentax Lx bodies rebuilt by Pentax just before the closed there repair facility in Colorado. Also a complement of Prime and zoom lenses from 14m/m to 500mm. Some people might say it is all obsolete, I tend to think it just reached an evolutionary end. Then the Pentax 645nII came into my life. Then I noticed I was back to using my Rollei SL66 camera. I sold my Sinar 4x5 studio camera so long ago I don't remember If I really liked it. Some day maybe someone will contact me and make an offer I can't refuse for all or part of my Pentax LX system. In the mean time Life moves forward, So Happy New year everybody. Jonathan
