FE-1 is fantastic, even without bellows. It's my second most-used finder (guess which one is the first? :) The image is HUGE. The focusing is precise. If you can get it --go for it. Oh yes, it also doubles as a great 35mm loupe. Mishka - Original Message - From: Tom Davis [EMAIL

The last time I purchased a Pentax new was back in the early 70's when I purchased a chrome model ES II. Today, I received a Pentax Optio 230 from BH. BH had a better price so I decided to go for the 230. Anyone on the list own one? Jim A.

It's too bad they don't seem to be around now. I'd like to see the MZ-S with various lenses and accessories put through it's paces. Every bookstore I go into I look for Pentax books. They always have the book with the 'older' bodies, but never anything new, and nothing like the 'Nikon System

P.S. I have just spent a week in Tasmania with my customized backpack and strap set-up, and it worked really well in the field. The pack is about a 45 liter Tatonka pack, which is heaps big enough, and in that I carried a 19-35mm, a 28-80 f2.8, an 80-200 f2.8, an FA 100mm f2.8, and an AF500
