in my dictionary Need = Want (and vice versa).

Why waste time arguing symantics, when true peace of mind comes from solving all ones problems. All problems can be solved; if one throws enough money or effort at the problem.

as long as pentax gets thiers out before canon releases a two gigapixel, jet engined, autonomous robo cam.....(or an 18 megapixel rebell yell, for under $1000) and pentax should do fine with the d10.

Here's a couple from last fall, hope you like.

You suicidal?
You gonna ask a pregnant woman if it's ok to buy a wide angle lens?
To take her picture with?
Ummn...Good Luck with That.
Ps.
All joking aside...
Congratulations.

Pentax Canada is doing thier stuff.
I'm seeing billboards, magazine ads, web ads, youtube, but most importantly...cameras! I see them at costco, london drugs, black's, best buy, the only complaint is that the clerks at these big box stores need more incentive to pitch the products.
I openly contradicted a sales clerk at Don's (no relation) Photo in winnipeg who was telling a customer that all the pros use only canon. I asked him if he was a pro..he said he did some weddings and this job was a stepping stone..blah blah blah. I asked him how much he charges. (low price til he gets his name out there). I pulled out my wedding brochure for next season, and pointed out that I know ONE Pro that makes at least four times as much money per job, that uses Pentax.

I'm too lazy to write an in depth profile on me.
I figure once I get rich, and in-(...er...let's just say...)...Famous...
The tabloids will do it for me.

Hey Mac, If a mime falls in the forest and noe one is around to hear...does he make a sound?

the Swan Princess meets Skynet.....
she'll be BACK!

Someone call the govanator.

I like the blues and yellows...works as a color composition if you ask me.

We could measure displacement, by dunking the lenses (or people) into a container of water and measureint how much water overlows the container.
Better yet, we could rig a platform to a latch triggered by a tartget, by hitting it with a softball, causing said lenses or people to fall into the container!
Woo-Hoo! math is fun!

just to complicate matters...
This is not a true magnification factor like you'd get with a teleconverter...more like the effect you'd get if you shot the image on filn then cropped in on the central area of the image, taking a little off each edge. f-stop, dof, etc won't change. but if your older lens, has light falloff at the corners, or gets a little soft at the edges, your digital will effectivly cut that junk off and you'll find yourself thinking your lens got a whole lot better!
