I never had to use it outdoors. At night it's not much of a help, since it starts metering at EV 4, which means that you can forget it and must switch to center-weighted. > Should I go for the N6006, wait until I have the money for the > F/N70 or just spend the money in another lens and keep the F50, > that's serving me well for what I do? If you can get a N6006 without spending too much, get it. It's much better than a F50 and as I see it, much easier to use too. The AF speed might be slower, but I don't really know, check it first if it's important to you. > Thanks in advance, You're welcome --- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
