Its more like some city news paper will call me and say, we need a shot of that 2 headed cow born out on Smiths farm to fill page 26. Plenty of time to shoot, devel, scan with the neg scanner and email off the results. but then, there is a semi in front of me that hits a bridge, rolls on its side and causes a general mess sending traffic into chaos, I whip out my MZ-S and catch the driver crawling out through the broken wind shield. I take a few snaps of the general carnage and whilst doing this another PJ shows up with a Nikon Digital. He snaps of 100 shots in 3 minutes and plugs it into his laptop and with cell phone attached and the images are at the office almost immediatly. My pics are not yet at the lab... For any PJ work now, especially freelance, you need a digital. I really don't want to go out and buy a second kit, Nikon, and have to buy all new glass for it. I have already invested heavily in glass and maintained my customer loyalty to PENTAX. I guess I would just like to see that my loyalty has not been misplaced. I truly believe in the PENTAX product and have been using it over 20 years and have marvelled at the progress made and watched other manufacturers fall in line behind. But something has changed, suddenly it seems that the leaders in the new technologies are Canon and Nikon. Kevin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
