Maybe KP can go out and find the answer for all of >us.------------------------------ > Hi just got back from my ski trip and will let you know how the photos with the snowy background turn out. I did allow for +1EV for most of my shots. I did some shots with the F5 RGB metering without any compensation. Right now the negatives are being developed, will get them in a couple of days from the lab. Thanks to those of you who responded to my query. ________________________________ I read the responses to the F5 flaws query. I think no camera is perfect for every one. I do not think it is relevant. There are so many cameras with different features and design concept (or man-machine-interface, MMI, if you like) that you have to choose the camera which suit you and your needs best. Personally I have a Canon for a number of years and recently when I decided to purchase a new camera I did my own market study and decided on the F5 because it handles very well and fits my needs best. As to the question of the strap for the F5 - be practical it is a heavy camera so a good strap like the Optech (Pro) strap will make the carrying a lot more comfortable. The F5 looks good on its own anyway. The wine color F5 strap that is supplied with the camera is pretty but not as comfortable. By the way in the cold it performed well, some of my travelling companions found that their cameras did not work in the cold (about -3 deg C). I would like to wish all a wonderful 1999! May you have excellent pictures no matter what cameras you own. It is you who make the picture!
