It seems to me that if you use a zoom the way to maximize The shake reduction function would be to input the nominal focal Length (about 120mm on a 70-210mm zoom) not the longest Focal length because it would minimize the focal length error. jco

I wasn't sure, so I looked it up. Makes sense to me. John Celio P.S.: I think someone needs to make an all-inclusive Pentax Wiki, including everything from early Asahiflex cameras to 6x7, 110, the Optio line, and dSLRs. There's a ton of info out there, but it's all spread out and hard to find. Any takers? I'd love to help, but all I know is basic HTML. -- http://www.neovenator.com AIM: Neopifex "Hey, I'm an artist.
