Hi, yes, that's true, but of course it has problems of its own. As Joe has pointed out fast shutter speeds have taken care of the small aperture problem to some extent. But even with a camera with a top shutter speed of 1/4000 the widest you can go in typical outdoor conditions is f/5.6, which certainly restricts the options. At least with ISO 100 you can get to f/2.8.
If you're unlucky enough to have a Leica M, a Pentax MX, or almost any of the older generation cameras, then you're stuck at f/11. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, November 17, 2001, 6:17:44 PM, you wrote: >> "ISO 400 is surely way too fast for outdoor shots most of the time - you'll >> be stuck with very small apertures, or you'll have to use ND filters, which >> will darken your viewfinder considerably." > But ISO 400 film of the same class and genre is less "contrasty." - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
