When I want to blur moving water, either of them is too high anyway. ISO 50 in sunny daylight is only 1/50 second @ f/11, 1/15 at f/22. I use a six-stop ND filter that renders ISO 200 to ISO 3 on the *ist DS, and ISO 100 to ISO 1.5 on the K10D. That lets me shoot at exposure times in the 1/4-1/2 second range, f/11, in sunny daylight. An eight-stop ND filter, or adding a polarizer, drops that further into the 1 to 4 second range, and dropping to f/22 runs the time out as far as 16 seconds. Those get the blur I'm after when I do this kind of thing... Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
