Very nice shot Dave. Excellent timing. How much latitude do you have in timing a shot like this? If you were fast/slow by 1/10 sec would it have ruined the shot? The only change I would like, but which is out of your control is the folks in the background are distracting. The composition

Dang. If the 16-45 is better than the 24/2, and the 24/2 is better than the 24-90, then my 24-90, which is my mainstay for the *istD when I travel light, is going to get re-thought. That also means I'm going to have to add the 16-45 to my drool list. ;) I was kind of ignoring the 16-45 for

I concur. The SMC PENTAX-A 70-210/4 has been a very sharp and good performer overall for me. I've not purchased the 80-200 2.8 because this lens is so good that its hard to justify the expense and size for just one more stop and probably marginal sharpness improvement. rg Alan Chan wrote: I

First, I like what you tried to do here. The main comp is ok, as a concept. But the branches are a distraction though, and it would have been nicer in plain BW film instead of IR, IMHO. This would have allowed a darker sky, maybe?, with filters I suppose. The sky is too close to the color
