I was looking at what I took last year, and it was noticeably sharper. I was shooting with the A 1.7 50mm and I guess the extra stop plus the shorter focal length made all the difference. Saturday night was an experiment, and I learned from it. The shots are okay, some are good, but they could be better. Next time it's back to the A50 1.7. Thanks to everyone who looked and commented. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
