I get it. I'm usually shooting birds off a monopod, so I'm up around 1/500th shutter speed with the 400 and higher yet with the 400 and the A2XS. I have shot some off the tripod recently but still used quite a bit of shutter speed. I'll have to try some at a speed closer to ambient. Paul On Mar 29, 2007, at 7:43 AM, Mark Cassino wrote:
