I am confused (again). Just when I was convinced (again) that I should not buy a K-3 because of the Ricoh label on the back, I have been given the compelling case that the sharpness totally sucks.

Don't forget (again) that you should not buy one because of how it handles reds at ISO 6400.

It also sounds like you should not buy one because gray market sellers are replacing the Pentax accessories with cheap 3rd party copies.

When you find it, feel free to eat my slice. I just never developed the taste for it.

But if your only two options are do something or not do something, and you don't decide, you've decided because not deciding is the same as deciding not to, so in such a case it's not possible to not decide.

How's your headache now?

Eat two cheese sandwiches and call your doctor in the morning.

I'm currently waiting for my turkey sandwich a la Disney. I'm STARVING!

**savoche** · 12-09-2013, 11:55 PM

Well, I can't stomach food in the morning. It's 8 o'clock, pitch dark, foggy, slippery... Just gimme a coffee, ok? Big mug of espresso will do nicely.

Lol! No. Disney is my happy place. The old man zonked out on us and slept most of the day yesterday. Kids and I went to Magic Kingdom. This is outside Hollywood Studios. (These are the OOC JPEGs. I have the raw files, but I'm not going to play with them until I get home.
