Friend of mine who lived in the UK for a number of years opines that no one in Canada really understands rain and no one in the UK really understands cold. There might be some truth to this. I've found the K20D works fine at -25 C if you don't bring it inside too fast. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
