The guys on the LUG list really love them. Surprisingly, there are quite a few posts about random odd failures. This tends to generate flame wars with one side claiming a body that expensive ought to be damn near perfect, and the other claiming it's worth the hassle due the unmatched superiority of the images they get. I don't see much over there that's better than the typical PESO around here - technically or artistically. I'm guessing on this one, but there are probably more K10D owners subscribed to the PDML than there are M8 owners subscribed to the LUG. They have quite a few more "broken camera" posts than we do. Makes me kinda proud. I have to agree with you about the price. Once the next model comes out, undoubtedly with many fixes that should have been implemented with the M8, prices will drop significantly. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
