Many thanks, Shel. I appreciate your comments. I would be more than happy to share what I do - I'm not sure that it is much different than you. I do have to say that the DA 16-45 lens is much better than I had imagined. It performs much better than my old FA*24/2 did on digital. You may want to test it a bit on the NorCal outing and see how it does for you.
