I'm quite aware why and what it is trying to do, I just disagree with the decisions the camera makes (well, the engineers made) on this, basically that either: * ISO 1600 at F2 is better than ISO 800 at F1.4 on this lens * 1/15 at F2 is better than 1/30 at F1.4 on this lens. (SR changes the values here, but the principle remains the same) Either of which I think are wrong. Anyways, I've had this discussion before, I guess different people prefer different behaviour from it, but I don't think it really behaves as it should from my viewpoint. - Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
