G'day John I don't think it's a coincidence, zoom's do tend to suck air in & out. I have't gone off zooms for this reason, I'm just trying to force myself to think a bit more about composition.

But after having to process a large batch of images it got annoying real quick. :-) Dave S On Apr 10, 2005 11:01 AM, John Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David Savage mused: > > > > > > WRT sensor cleaning, I've had my *ist D since November '04 and to date > > I've gotten away with only needing to use a blower.
