Hi William the dog is wonderful but *this* background spoils it all for me. Consider an iron for the curtain ;-) grretings Markus

This is pretty much a straight dump to the website, so there may be some warty pictures in there. I shot DNGs using AWB, and the digital review histogram as a flash meter. The pictures were shot with the A85/1.4 at f5.6 at iso100. I'm pretty happy with the white balance as shot, it's just a tad warm, but studio lights tend to be. I want to play around with the custom WB settings, I am pretty sure I can nail the WB really closely with this camera. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/harley/index.html Harley is a biggish GSD, probably around 100 pounds. We are good buddies. I've done Shutzand work with him, so he is very responsive to me, on the offchance that I will put a sleeve on and let him play tug-o-war with my arm In the studio, the camera is a gem, even with the missing PC socket and no vertical grip. I bought an Olympus Safe Sync, which goes on the hot shoe and connects to the flash system via a PC socket. Not the best, but I wasn't using my own flash equipment, which will trigger via my Pentax IR flash. The screen is very easy to focus manually with under the modelling lights, and the camera responds very quickly. I had no waits for the buffer to empty, and according to the time stamps, I shot 56 files in 6 minutes, 17 seconds. Thats a picture every 7 seconds, which isn't doable on the istD. I'm happy.
