> Possibly, I think the manual recommends ISO 400. Yeah, I think that the lens is so slow (at any FL) that 400 ASA makes sense, and that ~is~ what the manual recommends. This is no problem for me, since I've been using mostly 400 print film since the early 1980's, when the stuff was crap. As for the IQZ 90 WR, I think it's a pretty good emergency camera - good for when you just don't want to take out and expose "the good stuff" (the regular SLR and lenses) to the elements under atrocious photographic (and/or human) conditions. It's rugged and waterproof (mine's been baptized in heavy rain and in heavy salt spray), although a bit ugly - <g>. Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
