I think I've got a crush on the cellist. :) I love shooting concerts with my 135. > > The last 13 shots were taken last Thursday. > > I've been finding that I can even take acceptable shots at ISO 3200 as > long as the most important elements are well exposed.

I've been ridiculed for this before, but as I've said, try doing a test, shoot at 3200 in manual, then change nothing but the ISO and continue shoot at 800 and compare the two.

All in all, the K100 is an amazing low light performer for the money. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
