But that was well before the Internet and fanboyism. There weren't legions of brainwashed folks trying to convince each other that their 35mm SLRs were inadequate for anything but quick snaps and they couldn't possibly consider tripping the shutter on anything less than a medium format. It's just gotten to be like the -- now almost forgotten -- SUV craze where you couldn't be seen driving to work in anything smaller than a Hummer. Surely you can buy whatever vehicle you feel you want to, but I reserve the right to think you're daft if you decide that a road grader is appropriate transportation for daily commuting. -- -bmw -- 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.
