True enough Bruce,but the AF and fast glass help here.
I started to worry when i compared prints from 2 years ago,shot on 'shudder' Kodak Max
400, with my
recent stuff shot with Royal Gold or Gold 200 and some of the Portra series. The older
prints were
more "crisp'. I have been using the primes i have bought recently as they are faster
than
the two
zooms i have,but i think the better print was with the 80-200 f 4.5-5.6 lens from
2000-2002,focusing at
the centre of the jump and hope they hit their marks.:-).
Maybe its time to go back to it.I only seem to use the A70-210 F4 for macro
lately,although AF sure
makes the horsey thing easier on me.
Atleast i kave a ton of equipment to switch around.Life does not get boring then.<g>
