Oh yeah, I fogot to mention, this wasnt even shot RAW mode, this was a 6MP jpeg *** image set to sRGB for web usage only. I did bracket the exposure in 1/3 stops to make sure I got a good one. It was 1/640 at F8, @ ISO200, IIRC.

( resolution impossible to see of course in this reduced for web image ). Not bad for an approx 35 yr old lens. So far I have been very impressed with every m42 Pentax SMCT lens I have tried on the istDS. But a real M42 SLR would be so much easier to use. I really hate the auto/manual mode switching or opening aperture up and down routine on PK bodies with m42 adapters like this. jco -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
