Lovely set, excellent re-touching work.

It sounds like paradise, where can I get a flight?

Would they not look different at maximum aperture (given the different speeds) even at a small web size? I would imagine people would only buy the FA77 if they were planning on taking advantage of it's wide-open rendering at least some of the time?

A digital MX would mean a smaller, leaner design. As we know the market's all about compact proportions at the moment! There is also a trend for 'classic looking design' - not just in cameras, look at the Fiat 500. In camera terms, it's also about reducing the complexity of the controls - the MX just has aperture, ISO and shutter speed controls. Sure a digital camera would need more controls, but you simplify the interface by giving prominence to the main three. Old fashioned? Some things are so beautifully designed they never look old fashioned.

Pentax already moved slightly back towards 'classic looking' camera design with the K7/K5 - one of the designer's stated aims was to create a camera that was as small as possible and looked good with Ltd lenses. The new angular prism hump was an example of the changes they made, and the more boxy angular camera shape.

Yeah I usually talk about digital MX but why not Super-A, I'd be equally happy with that!

Anything but the beercan above or another brick!

Ahem. Is that a self portrait?

I dunno, with that sort of screen I would find an EVF redundant tbh! Maybe it could be an optional clip-on one? But I like your idea of a digital version of the MZ5N (I'd like a digital Super-A even more though!)

Best of all there's one available in the classifieds (in the new matt black finish) and I know the seller will be open to reasonable offers!

Or just buy one s/h and sell it on if it doesn't appeal... I would vote for the Tamron 90mm for pure price vs performance. In fact the manual focus version is fine for macro, just focus by moving the camera!
