Still not that pleased with the camera, more so the medium. It's doing the job however I am still shitty about the AOV limitations. I only had enough room for my 20/2.8 in my travel pack so I was somewhat limited in quite a few instances, hopefully the multi-image shots will stitch OK. > I think it's great.

I'm enjoying it but remember I had the Oly E-10 for two years before I got the *ist D so I was well aware of what to expect and the Oly was a damned good camera. What I'm enjoying is the relative low noise in high ISO images, this is something I've not had before and it's let me shoot a whole lot more macro under available light which is by far my preference. > limitations, blah, blah, limitations.

Agreed but dude, you should see the output from my Mamiya 7 Velvia/Provia film scanned on my LS-8000, that's impressive (regardless of all these BS film vs digi web tests) but of course they each have their place. :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
