Pentax had nothing (much) to show. Period. Goshdornit people, can we just
move on?! I mean, really. Don't you still have cameras on your shelves
(apparently collecting dust) that you should be out using? Where has
speculation gotten you over the past two years. My (increasingly
not-so-humble) opinion is that one should either display some gool ol'
fashion patience or [If its _that_ crucial] move on to another brand for
digital as so many others here have quietly done [and have done so without
all the hoopla, I might add].
In short... film or digital... go take some pictures... the next PUG
deadline is 19 days away.

Hey Jerome,
I have noticed your posts, just have not gotten around to getting in touch.
Should I let people in on the shots of you imitating Mark Roberts in the
stream or atop Macrae?s Peak. Not that I have not taken any shots since
then. When are we going to see some of those shots? I have been meaning to
get in touch, but you know how busy one gets. I am really curious of the
shots of me being your tripod Sherpa:-)
This weekend I ended up shooting only nine rolls all but one color slides.
The other was b/w print. This was the first time in quite a while that I
used the MZ-S. I have been using my LXen exclusively. I needed a small
camera to carry multiple. It is just too much of a pain with the MZ-S with
the strap attached to the grip.
I also noted that I rarely used the AF on the MZ-S. I was composing as I
was following the action of the people and focused as I saw fit. I could
not see myself even using one of those eye pointing focusing cameras
(Canon???). I was mostly looking at the center and focusing with my
peripheral vision.
I may have time to get more into photography when I head north for almost
three weeks here pretty soon. But that is for another post.

P.S. I go have lunch with Minolta girl and I come back to 50+ posts! I
cannot turn my back on you people...
