Hi Dan, I have put up a couple of scans that were shot with light sources in the frame, not great examples and unfortunaltey I can't remember that much about them except that the jag was shot hand held with ISO800 film and the office shot was a tripod job and of course the most critical bit (aperture) I don't recall for either :-( In any case see: http://www.home.aone.net.au/audiobias/office.JPG http://www.home.aone.net.au/audiobias/jag.JPG > And if both score on image quality, then a choice between the two would > swing on the failings or virtues of rangfinders compared to SLRs. RF lens size and weight is often a big advantage, there are just times when the Pentax 15 is too big to lug about, I have a CZ Hologon 16f8 which protrudes out of the front of the camera (Contax G2) by about 10mm (with the -2 stop fall-off compensation filter removed) > Definitely food for thought--probably good that both are out of reach at > the moment. <g> > > Much obliged, No problems, Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
