This is sad news. Just more proof that I am getting old.

I hauled out my old Pentax 35 mm SLR set the other day. Pretty standard set - 3 lenses (standard, wide angle, 80-200 zoom). It has become a relic. I really have no use for it, but I love the sound it makes when I hit the shutter release. I like it because it's mechanical. That doesn't make it better than, or even as good as, our digital camera, but I like it.

Sigh.
