Well I'll be darned. My friend was right! :^) As a (Pentax) side note, we had a nice snowstorm here yesterday. For once the weather lived up to the media hype. The snow was the sticky type which adheres to everything in a very photogenic fashion. Just got in after taking some pretty snow pictures with my ME Super/28mm F3.5. -- Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
