Light was poor, but the Nikon AF lens i had that night, 35-70 f2.8 was focusing ok, only 1-2 missed shots(with flash). I'm mad at myself, not the gear. It only did what i told it to do.:-) Maybe i'll desaturate a few, as there are some nice ones NTL and post. Might not look to bad in B&W and web sized.:-) Dave > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ Ontario Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
