How do you carry a Pentax on a non-shooting project basis? I have each camera in a little neoprene sleeve from Zing, and each lens has its own Zing pouch. That way I can put them in whatever bag I want and they're protected. For shooting, I have an ordinary backpack that I stuff all my gear in. When I get to a shoot, I can loop each lens pouch over my belt for easy access.

But truth be told, the term Pentax wife sounds to me like it's the wife of someone who's into Pentax. Kind of like football widow. Although I guess then such a person would be a Pentax widow instead. In that case, I guess my husband is a Pentax widower, except that he does like to go out and take pictures with me, so it's not like he's staying home while I'm out photographering (his current pet camera is his C*non Elph digital).

I suspect you find a LOT of stuff offensive. Your priorities are a bit odd. Not with respect to your daughter, I respect that, but your perspective is off kilter! keith John Poirier wrote: From: Keith Whaley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February 2, 2003 3:06 PM Subject: Re: OT Pentax wife (Was: Shit, Crap Politics, Was:Re: Vs: car shit,not politics, not Pentax, but about as valid as any of the crap that isallowed without rancor.

We should all have nothing but contempt for a mentality that could produce a comment of this type. John Poirier Father of a 13-year-old girl. What's a 13-year-old girl got to do with anything, John? Actually, as her father I think she has quite a bit to do with me. As a young woman she is growing up in a world where violence against women is widespread. I think that has quite a bit to do with all of us. As a father and as a responsible adult it is my duty to object strongly to any behaviour that promotes or condones violence against women. In mentioning that I have a 13-year-old daughter, I was providing context for my remarks. I have read Lasse's explanation and accepted it. No problem. However, I do find the tone of your remarks offensive. Oh, I guess you're objecting to the language? I agree. This is surely a family newsgroup, and the participants ought not swear. Or, for that matter, talk politics and firearms and other such disgusting things. Surely you're not letting her read these list messages? Are you? keith whaley Oddly enough, we don't censor our daughter's reading, although we do monitor and provide guidance. She encounters far worse language in the school yard every day. Politics is a daily topic of discussion in our household. Our daughter is also rather well-informed on the issues surrounding firearms. Sorry to disappoint you. (Incidentally, I'm not one of those small-l liberals you dumped on in another thread. I am a big-L Leftist, and never more proud of it than when I see drivel of the sort you've been spouting.)

WAS: bRe: PMA and Pentax DSLR Yeah, I agree with you, but she would also most likely be very old, mostly stuck at the mirror all day, dented, losing her paint, need constant cleaning an lubrication, cost you huge medical bills, and the only way to make her work is by screwing or mounting her with a bayonet :-) Lasse
