Or, at least, not very often. But here in sunny California those speeds are nice to have. ISO 200 (the base speed of the *ist-D) puts you at a shutter speed of 1/2000 at f5.6 Even with the ISO 100 of the K10D I'm still limited to f2.8. That's rarely a problem, but occasionally I may want an even more limited depth of field. On the PZ-1p I did occasionally even use the 1/8000 shutter speed, but only when I had faster film (usually ISO 800) loaded in the camera. That ability to change ISO whenever I want to is one of the things I like most about the digital bodies. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
