It even gets linked to Brazilian forums etc. This was about 1 1/2 years ago. He switched to Canon full frame but have special mask for the camera viewfinder so it shows a 6x45 view and he has his printer print the digital images in traditional darkroom. I suspect he will be one of the first buyers for the Pentax digital. He loves the low contrasty Pentax lens.
