It's the combination of the K-5's sensitivity and a good fast-ish portrait lens (in my case, the D-FA 100mm macro) that enables this one. The trick goes like this; you're at a bar or a meeting or whatever, not-terrible indoor light, and you shoot a portrait across the room and bring it up on the back of the camera, and people get wide-eyed and say "How'd you DO that?"
For example, http://www.tbray.org/google/io11/content/RUNE1008_large.html or http://www.tbray.org/google/io11/content/RUNE1011_large.html or http://www.tbray.org/google/io11/content/RUNE1013_large.html (all at ISO 3200). I'm not an equipment worshipper, but this didn't used to be possible, and now it is. Which is a good thing. -T -- 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.
