I figured this one (the above one) was not taken with the A 70-210/4 - it's a really nice zoom lens, but its so-called "macro" mode is not a strong point (nor is it on most of the so-called "macro zooms", although I always found that the little A 35-70/4 was a pleasant exception to this generalization). > http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_2471a.htm > Pentax *istD, A 70-20/4, handheld > ISO 200, 1/180 sec @ f/5.6, Manual mode, Center weighted metering I'd say that the above photo is about as good as the "macro" mode gets on the A 70-20/4 - it's reasonably sharp, and not overly high in contrast. However, it works well for this photo, sort of a "dreamy" feeling. > http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_2427.htm > Pentax *istD, A 70-210/4, handheld > ISO 200, 1/1000 sec @ f/8.0, Manual mode, Center weighted metering Who says that a telephoto isn't for scenics? - <g> Thanks again.
