If you think about it in terms of film, we are in the best shape in HISTORY. When the Pentax-A series of lenses was available, 800 was probably the fastest ASA/ISO in general use. With the incredible high ISO performance of the K-x and K-5 we are several stops ahead of what was previously available (in terms of handheld shots, higher possible shutter speeds, and "grain"/IQ). Even a two stop performance in ISO is the equiv. of turning your "old" f2.8 into an f1.4 (equiv.) in all senses except DOF, of course. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
