Hey, an email I can answer! Chris,
If you actually knew me, you'd know I'm not having a temper tantrum. I did write things for the express purpose of sillyness and laughter and of course all the responses I was hoping for. I'm blessed with a thick skin, but doomed with little patience. You ask an honest question, I will give you the honest answer. Now, this has already be stated, but I'm sure you've forgotten when that thread was going. It seemed that I, along with quite a few others (to the dismay of some here), simply stumbled? in. When I first started taking pictures, I was using a borrowed Pentax A3000. It of course had program, B, and Aperature Value but lacked Time Value. At the time it didn't really matter to me. I used a manual focus 35-70mm Pentax lens as well as a Haminex<sp?> of similar range. Why my friend (she was clueness when it came to cameras, more than I if you can believe that!) has two lenses so similar, I do not know. I started reading about photography and found myself enjoying it, so I decided to buy my own, the MZ-5n, with a variety of cheap lenses. After that I really got going with photography. So when I had the extra cash I almost literally replaced all my camera equipment, including accessories, tripod....the works basically. With the MZ-S in mind because I was told, one it was a nice camera, and two, it was far less expensive and better than a similar setup with Canon or Nikon. Of course I was familiar with Pentax which made it even more appealing. When I was done, it came to about $10,000Cdn Now what you all have been waiting for, my DSLR comments :) I joined the PDML after getting the MZ-S stuff, and started to read things that I didn't like, basically all the speculation months before Photokina. I tend to change my mind and ramble quite often, so my comments and such were all over the place. Apparently this is not common in the PDML. :) So basically here we are. Hope that cleared up things, Brad Dobo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Brogden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2002 2:40 AM Subject: for Brad > > I'm getting a chuckle out of your temper tantrum, but I have a legitimate > and semi on-topic question.
