Likely not particularly doable without a LOT of engineering work. All the electronics have to be worked to fit the space and there's precious little space in the K1000 body shell for all of them and a decent battery and a storage card cage, etc. > Still, it's a pleasant thought. I really like the feel of it. I'd like a Nikon FM-D body myself, but that's because I always loved the feel of the Nikons, even moreso than the Pentax MX which is its closest comparable model. The K1000 always felt a little crude to my hands. but I know what you mean. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
