Jeffery, I'm shooting an MZ-S along with my K-7D right now and feeling the difference. I don't "spray and pray" very often with the K-7D, but the MZ-S does encourage a more thoughtful process. I should probably take more photos on a routine basis. (I noticed on the PDML visit to Chicago, Boris has 2X the milage on his K-7D that I do.) I think digital is positive for encouraging me to try more stuff. With film it was always $.25+ per shot... Quite a limiter. Regards, Bob S.
