The lens was set from the camera and the EXIF reported f11, I just made another Q&D shot standing in my yard with the same combo on a mono-pod (to lazy to set up a tripod in the cold). The lens set to ISO200, f11 from the camera body, metering on spot, shutter speed was 1/200th. The RAW histogram was well centred however it was compressed so I needed to adjust the contrast significantly to render all the moon surface details (full frame at 50%): http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/IMGP2395.jpg (~97kB) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
