What the ist-D will do is not allowing plain TTL however which is annoying since the body does indeed support it. All DSLR and PTTL capable bodies will make Pentax flash act this way. A solution is using Mets flashes. On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 8:01 PM, John Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On

Re: Sensor resolution V focal length..........

2008-06-28 Thread Jos from Holland
No, I try to say that lens resolution matters a lot. I see it as follows: If I have a good lens with 100 lines/mm, that means 2400 lines on 24mm If I have a (simplified) sensor with 4800pixels on 24mm I could show these 2400lines If vertical lines, I would see only 2400lines if they fall

The increased resolution is obviously a great feature. As you say, it's especially nice when you need to crop. It's good to hear that your high ISO experience has been better than some have reported. I rarely shoot above 400 but it would be nice to know I can if needed. Thanks for your input.

I use high speed synch mode on a regular bases. it works very well. If one were able to trigger the flash above synch speed in normal mode, the result would be a frame that is exposed unevenly. We used to be able to do that with some cameras. The result is predictable. Paul --

I've read enough that I'm about ready to pop for the K20D. High sensitivity resolution performance is one big reason. I like the option of being given high image detail and having PP control over the noise. Jack --- On Sat, 6/28/08, Brendan MacRae [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Brendan
