Funny how you didn't seem too impressed by the *ist D when I was there in October but now you seem very enthusiastic about it!
I think it's great. My macro shots have improved 1000% Take shot, review exposure, move on or re-take as needed. It's really helped me improve my flash-natural light balance. No more black backgrounds with the bugs! limitations, blah, blah, limitations. I have a 20x30 inch print in my living room that is freakin' amazing. proof is in the puddin' as they say around here! take care! Christian Skofteland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
