sensors to pick up the car when entering the frame, I'm afraid you
will be disappointed by the results. Maybe the panned pictures are

Hi, list --
Took my new MZ-S to its first serious outing over

Shooting with Pentax is fun. I don't take photographs for a living and so for me the
enjoyment factor is important.
Despite my earlier email, I don't need IS. I have the A70-210/4 but I hardly use it
because I'm in a very wide-angle mood of late.

Other than the marketing hype, from reps and sales clerks, I really

But the custom function is something you do once, or very rarely, in order to
