Also: Rapid light changes combined with a rapidly moving subject. One of my nest boxes is in dappled shade. With the LX, I can make many more exposures with each fleeting visit than I can with the DSLR and they are mostly accurate. The light can easily change by the time I "take" with the DSLR. The exposures are mostly inaccurate. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
