But you couldn't stay unenabled. You started mounting Pentax glass on those foreign bodies. Of course in the old days when someone asked why we chose Pentax rather than those more popular brands, we used to answer, "It's the glass".

Hi Peter, I started "real photography" with an MX and an M 50mm f1.7 back in 1981. I still have it though I've been through a SuperA, Z1p, MZ-S, and am now using my *istD nearly exclusively - I still have my MZ-S as well. I don't have room for a dark room but I enjoy what I can do with the digital on the computer. Where in Oz are you? There are a lot of Australians on this list - I'm in Melbourne.
