Hello Jens, Sorry this is more like 40 people shot on the *istD, with DA 16-45 lens
ISO 400, 1/90 sec @ f/11 Here is the full shot to give you some perspective: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_3214.htm Here is a crop of one person at 100% (no resizing, just cropped from full size original) http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/bkd_3214a.htm I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, January 21, 2007, 2:45:17 PM, you wrote: JB> I must admit I haven't done much work to the digital files.
