John, There is a big Parkway arts crafts center just on the north side of Asheville. We got a Parkway map there and the mileposts on it would be your friends. Unfortunately the 35 mph speed limit is not to friendly. It seemed to take forever to drive up from Ashville to GFM on the Blue Ridge

Isn't it about time for the rumors about the K5 replacement to start appearing? The K10 had a production run of 2 years but the K20 and K7 only ran for 1 year before being replaced. On that record the K3 (?) should be appearing soon - or at least start being talked about. I keep looking at the

Chris, You should visit some time. It would be a very different experience from Chicago and the prairies of Illinois. The people are quite friendly and the Blue Ridge mountains are very different from anything I've ever seen. Previous visitors to GFM may not have recognized the sunshine. We had 3

Well not much rumours for Pentax. There is nothing about the K-line, all the rumours going around are focusing on the mirrorless systems of Pentax. One being APS-C (I do believe the NC-1 pictures floating around is the APS-C or 4/3 one) and one being a small sensor one (some says it's called

The 645D was next and it's making all kinds of waves of it's own. And I'm still figuring out how to take full advantage of the K5. I suppose the next step is a full frame sensor for the K5. I would like a fast DFA 400 mm or even DFA 300 mm. Regards, Bob S. On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 3:06 PM,
