Re: BBC staff photog questioned over terror sunset pic

my take on dealing with this problem too. But how do we make sure that those in charge of tourism are aware that we are boycotting London because of harassment of photographers? Do we need to orchestrate a public boycott, with media fanfare and all? Regards, Jim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail

Re: Batteries for *ist-D and other Pentax cameras that take AA or CR-V3
