Not just the high ISO, but the dynamic range and the much improved metering, TAv has gone from a clever idea on my K20, to very useful. When I'm photographing something like Aikido, especially in our dojo where during the day the light will change from one part of the mat to another, it's very helpful to set it at the slowest shutter speed that'll work, the widest aperture that'll work, and just take whatever ISO the light gives me. > Also, this summer I will attempt the "Under the El Tracks" idea now that I > have the K-5--very eager to give that a go.
