Seems okay so far. Manual focus is a bit loose but you can use it
without having to flick any switches. It does do a bit of distortion
at the wider end:

I think maybe Canon has alienated the camera stores by being such
sluts with their digital Rebel.
Maybe Canon has the right idea, pushing Eos 300Ds at computer
You mean they don't ask where the customer bought the damned thing first...

When I was in buying my Christmas present to me yesterday
Hi all,
I walked in to a 'neighbourhood' photostore today, where
the last new Pentax I had seen on sale was something like
a PZ-10 or perhaps a cheap MZ model.
(apart from some Optios lately)
I was pretty amazed to see they actually had an *istDs on the shelf!
