Many years ago when I was photographing a bunch of blues dancing in crazy low light, my friends with u4/3 had much better luck focusing using the f/0.95 lens and focus peaking on manual focus than I did with the Pentax. EVF has its advantages and its disadvantages. I suspect that it would not work well for John shooting motorsports, but for any subject that is reasonably static it should be good enough for framing, composition etc. In very low light it is often much better for things like composition because you can actually see what the camera will see. When I’m doing astro, and astrolandscape, I find live view invaluable for focusing on a bright star or planet to set my focus to infinity. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
