Watched a game of Beep Ball (Blind Baseball) where the participants are visually impaired. To make the game equal to all since some have limited sight they all wear blinders. The ball emits a beeping sound which they use to locate the ball and then swing the bat to hit. If they hit the ball they run to a foam padded object up the first or third base lines which emits a buzzing sound. The runner must reach and touch the object prior to one of the players in the field picking up the ball. If the runner reaches and touch the object prior to a fielder picking up the ball, which they locate by sound, then they score a run. If the fielder picks up the ball prior to runner touching the object then the runner is out. When the hitter is at the plate they have the ball pitched to them five times and are allowed one ball to pass without swinging. They must swing the other four times. They miss four times and it is an out. After three outs the other team gets up to bat. Also, if the ball is hit it must travel at least 40 feet, otherwize it is considered a foul ball strike. The pitcher is a volunteer for the team that is up to bat who is not visually impaired and do their best to place the ball over the middle of the plate.
It was a fun game to watch and the players had a great time playing.
The teams were Seattle, WA vs Spokane, WA

I currently shot about 80% film and 20% digital.
Film Cameras include: Rolleiflex f3.5 with Carl Zeiss 75mm Planar (type 4) and Mamiya 7 II, for medium format; Leica M6 TTL and MP for 35mm format.
Digital Cameras include: Panasonic GF1, m4/3 and Leica M9, full frame.
Living in Seattle, I was interested in picking up weather sealed camera and loved the size and the images I have seen produced with the Pentax cameras. A friend has a K7 and produces wonderful images and prints and was enough for me to start looking at Pentax.
. . . . . as luck would have it UPS rang my doorbell!
The journey begins.

New to Pentax and have been reading the forum for the past couple of weeks along with reviews here and elsewhere.
I took the plunge last night and ordered a K5IIs along with the 16-50 f2.8 DA* and the 77 f1.8 FA Limited.
If all works well I will have the gear by Friday evening, if not then early next week.
Looking forward to the adventure!
Dan

If Pentax builds a full frame, consumers will come, and I do hope they make a decision to get into the market.
