That seems to be the consensus. The film just ended. Fantastic. I hadn't seen it in at least thirty years. Certainly one of the best films of all time. Wow. Paul On Dec 31, 2006, at 4:55 PM, Christian wrote: Paul Stenquist wrote: What kind of camera does James Stewart wield in Hitchcock's

Just to demonstrate that the heavy noise seen in the pic of the two girls isn't native to the K10D, here's a shot from about 20 minutes previous when there was still some light. This one is with the DA 50-100 at 150 mm, ISO 1600, f6.3 @ 1/160th, but not underexposed.
