A very long time ago, long before I acquired my Asahi Pentax S-1a (1968 while statioed in Vicenza IT via an unindicted co-conspirator in unit security who made regular round trips to Japan, taking orders an d shekels and returning with hardware)(couldn't afford a Honeywell Spotmatic) I messed around with the likes of pocket Instamatics and home-brew pocket-sized pinholes, so when an opportunity slapped me upside the heid, I found myself with a Holga, which in due time bred a Diana, and away I went (with lots of encouragement from the likes of Ted Orland!). I *do* still have a K-1000 and a K-10D and a Tokina 80-200 zoom and use the dickens out of them, and enjoy the badinage herein (Thank you LRC! for pointing the way). -- FUNEM SVFM FUNEX SVFX OKMNX -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
