Re: PESO San Antonio Lights

Yes this is true, but it also isn't downtown and like the Pentagon is low rise (4 stories) just has a very horizontal spread. And it is on a campus that if you didn't know better you would think it was Military. On Thu, Nov 25, 2021 at 7:51 PM Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > Of course, San Antonio

Re: PESO San Antonio Lights

I'm not sure, especially what was where in the 1970s. Possibly the Hotel Havana which would have been there then, it is a bit up the river from the main tourist area and small like 27 rooms. But I'm sure there are other properties that could fit that description also. And 1976 would have been

Re: Hot shoe to red dot sights.

Main benefit for the Olympus is it doesn't require any kind of adapter. Stick it on top, turn it on, EASILY align it for the lens I'm using. And EASILY change the alignment if I change lenses ... IF I pay attention, I can write down the settings and already know the alignment for each of the

Re: Pentax or Olympus?

The Olympus is micro 4/3 format. I believe Pentax is still has the lightest, most petite APS-C cameras and the K-1 may be the lightest "35mm" Full-frame. Plus the OM-D is mirrorless. No mirror box. Not even a tiny micro 4/3 mirror box. Going the other way, I actually find the Pentax bodies
