After much excruciating and felonious arm twisting by fellow member Paul Stenquist, I bought an ist D. KEH had one in As New minus condition, missing only the manual
Here is one of my first efforts with digital: http://groups.msn.com/wsawyerphotography/wildlife.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&Phot oID=179 Factoids: ist D, RAW mode, ISO 400. A*600 and A1.4L TC, f5.6. Bogen tripod, Kirk ballhead. Processed as RAW file in Photoshop Elements 3. Improvement opportunities solicited, lousy composition acknowledged. Bill Sawyer Livonia, MI
