Try steadying a 600mm lens sometime (the recommended fashion is with your hand applying slight pressure on the top of the lens hood). That's not "near" by any stretch of imagination. (And, in any case, your other hand is much nearer; if distance is the sole criterion you should adjust the aperture with your right hand). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
