Wasn't your full message: just about everyone that would buy a Pentax DSLR anyway. as BR is fond of pointing out, no-one is going to buy a Pentax DSLR that isn't already committed to Pentax. looks, whether exotic or mundane, won't affect any non-Pentax user's decision unless they have no SLR at all. Which seems to be making two disjoint statements: a) that nobody who isn't already committed to Pentax (which I interpreted as having an existing Pentax outfit) is going to buy a Pentax DSLR, and b) looks won't affect what that hypothetical non-Pentax user does. I see no "unless they don't have any SLR" on the end of that first sentence, -- David Barts Portland, OR

As a matter of pure aesthetics I'd think print dimensions would follow Golden Rectangles, known since ancient Greece to be pleasing to the eye. The golden ratio is (1+sqrt(5))/2 ~= 1.6, and 36mm/24mm and 6in/4in=1.5, which is pretty close. 12in/8in=1.5, but 10in/8in=1.25, farther from the hypothetical ideal. Just a thought.
