George, I agree and have been taking more slow speed stuff. I've generally avoided flash and used 'available dark' when possible. My M 85mm f2 was a favorite lens for many years. It's resulted in lots of trashed slides and prints over the years. Now I'm getting more encouraging results in low

I'd say twice is the Magic number to trigger return. Some intermittent shorts clear on the first shot especially those that happen in the first days. The second occurrence indicates that didn't happen and one can expect the problem to recur --- very often damaging and/or substantially

I'm very happy with it. It's an excellent lens. I do wonder whether I'd like the DA70 more, however ... that Quickshift mount is very very handy to me, and I have no need of 35mm coverage or use with legacy bodies. I have considered selling the 77 to pay for the DA70, but can't seem to make

It's certainly worth a call to Epson to find out what it would cost first. If you are going to buy a new printer and you don't use roll paper, you might look at the R3800 instead. The larger ink tanks will save a lot on printing costs over time. Godfrey On Dec 27, 2006, at 8:57 AM, Paul
