Exactly.... take a look at Ronald's other posts and you just may come to the same conclusion as I ronalddarbi wrote:
I have read a number of threads on this board that touch on the subject of the impact of Six Sigma on the cost reductions and process improvements that can be made in the non manufacturing areas of a business. It seems to me that whilst we are constantly trying to nail our suppliers and improve manufacturing processes in order to reduce time, waste, stock holding or improve our JIT environments we are ignoring one of the major things that hits our bottom line - that of our inability to recruit the right people at the right time with the right skills in the right geographical location.

Not quite Spam fritters but nothing to do with Pentax....

4. Stoner landscape panorama (three stitched images at 16mm)
Interesting to note that the wood boarder on the left is actually at right angles to the hedge on the right.

K-7 felt great the first time I handled it. Primes without the grip and DA* lenses with... lovely

Just picking up on Jack's comment about the grip.
It is a shame it doesn't hold the remote but it does offer the facility to use 6xAA batteries as a get out of jail which the BG2 didn't. Additionally the physical shape of the BG4 grip is a big improvement on the BG2 (IMO), the BG2 was too slim and not chunky enough, the BG4 offers much more real-estate to 'grip' and as such, is in fact better for it's intended purpose
