Arrived Friday from B&H, along with an BG-10.
The not-inconsiderable manual has been at the
top of the bathroom-reading pile all weekend.
Basically, I'm thrilled. The build quality and
overall heft/feel are impressive. So far the
control logic and layout shout "Pentax!" i.e.,
what you really need, where you need it. Played
with the trap-focus feature, which I think is
going to serve me well at the racetrack this
summer.
It's my first AF body, so I can't nitpick it
in comparison to, say, the PZ1-P. I'm sure there'll
be minor annoyances that pop up as I learn the beastie,
but no camera's perfect. For now I'm impressed. I think
by tonight I'll be ready go out and actually burn some
film with it. (Then it'll be time to start agonizing over
my first AF lens...)
Thanks to everyone who helped out with my AF questions
a few weeks back.
Regards,
Stephen
P.S. Peter, compared to my LX ("ka-chunk, whirr"),
I *like* the hamster-sneeze shutter!
