Hell, Rob, at $6-7K, I know I wouldn't have been able to afford it. Besides, look at all the problems Contax had to go through with that chip. I think Pentax was wise to drop it. Later on, when Foveon produces a full frame chip, or when Sony makes a nice full frame chip, we'll probably have one,

No big deal. What I see in the viewfinder is what I get. In most of my photography my problem is getting close enough, not farther away. For wide angle work, I'm pretty happy with the FA 20-35 and I can always use the Zenitar 16mm Fisheye if I want something wider. Nikon has a 12-24mm zoom on t

Absolutely correct. Another problem is that some cameras will not function with the memory door open and all the CF Wifi cards that I know about need to have their antenna out, hence the door must be open to use them. Len * There's no place like 127.0.0.1 > -Original Message- > From:

I set up the camera to use the center AF point and only focus when I press the button on the back, too. I learned to do that with the C D60. It gives me more control. Focus, compose, shoot. Works great. For me, I find cameras with multiple focus points don't often focus on the point I want.
