If so, no I have no experience with that one :-)
For those who might be interested, here's a little progress report with
first impressions of the Fuji X10.
After opening the box - wow. Quality feel to it. Smth. Very black,
very small. Size and weight reminds me of Leica CL, but resemblance ends

Actually, my true dream lenses would be a 18-90mm f/2 and a 100-200mm f/2,
in order to shoot the K-5 at 3200-4000 ISO instead of 6400-8000.

Going through archives that are months/years old can often unearth
things worth saving more than some closer to the time you took the

If you were to follow the logic of the LX being named for the Pentax
60th anniversary in 1980, that would make 2012 the 92nd year of
Pentax.
Flagship model for 2012 should then logically be:
