Hi Lily

I look at the moon when the haze is around. I can still see the various craters and trying to identify them is the fun bit.

Hi Alvin and Richard, thanks for the info.

I've just gotten the latest K100D and turned alvinsclee to the Light side also!
Presently, Pentax offers the BEST value for money. Nice features at a great price.

Richard, how much is the Pentax. Thanks,

Hmmm...So how much is it? Does it work fully on Faraday's law? And whats the brand?
