Thanks, Paul. I can't say that the *istD and lenses were quiet enough. But I was in the balcony so don't think I could really disturb the performers. Mostly just those near me. Fortunately, the manager of the orchestra asked me to do it and most of those around me were either video taping or shooting, so it was ok.
I can say that when I had the K 200/2.5 on and had to push the green button to stop down meter, that seemed very loud. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, March 3, 2005, 12:17:16 PM, you wrote: pcn> Nice shot.
