Aah thanks. They seem prone to these ailments. I would recommend SMC Pentax-M 35-70/2.8-3.5 although shorter in focal length range but perhaps not suitable for your camera body. Great lens all the same, I won't part with mine. John John Whittingham Technician -- Original Message

I own a Super A as well as a P30 and P50. It's true that the (earlier) Super A is superior to the other two (TTL flash and shutter priority). One thing I like ablut both P30 and P50 is the very soft release. The P50 has a beautiful design as well. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought Tom's photos were excellent, particularly the riderless horse, which I think is as good an example as any I've seen in the press of that image. Now there I'd disagree with you. I've seen wider shots which give more of the total atmosphere; Tom's is too tight a shot for my

Tom, you did nothing wrong. This is just good photojournalism. People shouldn't put their own political commentary onto something that is apolitical. Just because the funeral procession was for a political figure does not make it a political event. He was the leader of our country, but he

I'm no fan of Reagan, or his politics. Quite the contrary. But, the man just died. Like it or not, he was a very popular President of the world's most powerful country. And, he just died. We should show some respect, to him, the office of president, the country, and those who are grieving.
