Thanks, Tom (and Mark Stringer as well, who posted to the same effect a few minutes before you). Now that I think of it, I ~may~ have had the shutter at 1/1000th, not 1/2000th. And, if the meter was telling me 1/125th and 1/250th, I may be only off by 2 or 3 stops on some of them. I'll tell him to push two stops and hope for the best. Even those that are off by a stop may be salvageable at the print stage. At least there's a chance that I might get a couple that way. Why didn't I think of that? OTOH, that's why I love this place! <g>. Thanks, guys! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
