Yes, it's a bit embarrasing when shooting for money. I never use the pop up on the istd if a paying client is inc=vovled now. Sigma on the istD or use the D200. Yes i know,you dopn't have to say it, why would i use a pop up for a paying client.:-) Dave > > - Jerome > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
