Thanks Kieth. I think the *ist D is an excellent camera (even though I still could be improved to perfection :-).
I am especially amazed about the CCD and the M*4/300 and the 1.7 AF adapter (I can recommend this adapter to anyone), which makes it posible to get every shot razor sharp - even at distances "near" infinity - that is perhaps 5-10 miles away. In this panorama, there's a steel tower app. 10 miles away from the camera - and I can still see the steel beams, not more than 2 inches thick - in the photograph. I honestly doubt, that I could have done this on 35mm film!
