Thanks Ecke. And you're right, my camera does take good pictures. Seriously, I'm liking high ISO capability more than I thought I would. It gives me the luxury of a range cushion. With the K7, I would have probably shot this at ISO 400, f4, 1/250th. Since the lens was at 250 mm, it would have been iffy. Paul On Nov 18, 2010, at 4:18 PM, eckinator wrote:
