1) Taking photos from a moving pony cart can be challenging. Not so much for camera motion blur, which can be compensated for by a fast shutter speed combined with shake reduction, but because the bouncing up and down makes it very challenging to compose a shot.
2) This is exacerbated when the sound of the 18-250 focusing sounds to the horse like the noise that means "go faster". 3) Taking photos of a hawk flying overhead from a moving pony cart is nearly impossible. 4) Taking photos of said hawk, when standing on the ground with the 18-250 works a lot better with manual focus and a split prism focusing screen than it does with auto focus. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
