Many thanks, Jack!
The squirrel and the butterfly shots were all taken with the Promaster
on the K-x, and the rest were shot with the K20D and A-50/1.7.
I wasn't crazy about that Promaster when I first got it, but it's
starting to grow on me. I think the smartest thing I did was taking the
damned skylight filter off of it.

These are impressively sharp..and well rendered.
Walt, if you have the time and don't mind, please identify which of these were
taken with the Promaster.
Thanks, much!

Subject: GESO: Photowalk from 4/02
Hi all,
Just wanted to share these photos from yesterday. There's a little redundancy,
but not overmuch. The only real interesting tidbit is that I took the K-x
fitted with the Promaster 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 along with the K20D fitted with the
A 50/1.7 in order to have some reach, and it wasn't until the end of my
photowalk that I discovered that I'd had my ISO on the K-x set to, get this,
6400! In broad daylight, under a mid-afternoon sun with a cloudless sky! I
don't know how it got that way unless I accidentally hit the magical
combination on the 4-way while squatting down to take a shot with the K20D.
In any event, the shots turned out relatively well, all things considered.
Though, I was disappointed to see the blown-out highlights in the butterfly
shots. Still, all in all, I can't complain as I got at least a few decent shots
at the expense of a little shoe leather.
Anyway . . . here.

I have to say, I like that Promaster 70-300 more and more as I come to use it
more often.
As always, comments, critiques and suggestions are eagerly solicited.
Thanks!
