I am going to ask you if you have ever talked to KEH camera for indorsements or what ever you are getting from B&H and Adorama. You see I found my K7 for $699.00 EX+ at KEH, and so it goes. My first SLR was the HEILAND Pentax, and I had to cock the Auto Aperture before taking the picture. My best light meter back then was my IKOPHOT-T, which I found one a couple years ago for $50.00 at a place in L.A. called the "Kamera Korner". Now I have a plethora of equipment, and like the thrill of the hunt, for that elusive shot. Thanks for the review! I found out that the bells and whistles on my LX-5 are similar to those on the K7. Go Figg'r! Thanks James Humberg USCG 1969-1978 Dear Steve:

It's refreshing to get a review from a photographer that actually goes out and shoots in the real world, rather than in a test lab. Gotta love that book that's really bizarre ! Nice work !

It should be blocked off or tore down as it is pretty dangerous and kids could wander in this house without any problem. I am assuming that it will be taken down soon.

I'm not big on camera tests but I like reading about your photo and road trips. The story behind the trip to visit your family's old home with your mother was a great one and it's obvious you enjoy a special relationship. Great hardware on that door - I hope the family that lived there is ok. Your mother is pretty brave! I’m not big on camera tests but I like reading about your photo and road trips.
