Thanks for that reply Jostein.

Re: *istD quiry
Dave - several of the photos I pointed to recently were 80-200/2.8 shots. See http://home.earthlink.net/~smh645/NewShots/imageIndex.html I must say I am amazed everytime I use this lens. I just wish I were strong enough to be able to carry it for any length of time... I am afraid I cannot comment on your other questions. I look through the viewfinder, I don't look at it. That approach can be a failing or a blessing...

Also what film camera can you liken the viewfinder to in terms of brightness,information and barrel distortion.The later my main worry. As always,thanks in advance Dave
Re: *istD quiry
It does sound as though your camera is faulty, but I am saying this from the standpoint of a user, not a technician. Hopefully, it is something simple like a mis-aligned screen, but I would advise getting somebody qualified to look at it.

John The PZ-1, or all my lenses are out of wack.Once i move my eye a tenth of a mm,its blurry and the finder info is also very fuzzy.There is only a very tiny area dead centre that is ok,but then were my eye is,i cannot see the right side of the finder info very well,but its focused. I just wanted to make sure the *istD did not have this behavure,as someone mentioned it was on par with a PZ-1. Were would one suggest a starting point to look at,focus screen,prism housing??

Re: *istD quiry
Are you suggesting it is the PZ1 causing this, or the lens? If it's the former, I don't get this at all on my PZ1-P. Perhaps your camera needs to be checked out.

I was wondering what,if any,distortion,was in the finder,like the type you would see if you had transitional zoom glasses(like me)and if you move your head side to side you get a distorted,fuzzy view. My D1 and D2h have almost 0 distortion if i move my eyes around the finder.The PZ-1 has a tremendous amount. If its like the later,i doubt i''ll look at it. Thanks again Mark Dave > I've used the *ist-D with the Sigma 70-200. I like the lens with film and like it just as well with the *ist-D. In regards to the finder - it's adequately bright, I guess I'd put it roughly on par with my Pz-1p. As for barrel distortion - I don't know that I've ever noticed that in terms of the finder itself on any camera. Wouldn't that be something determined by the lens? - MCC At 09:12 AM 3/2/2004 +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Just wondering,anyone of the *istD owners use the Pentax 80-200 > f2.8 or the >Sigma 70-200 >(210??)f2.8 on the camera yet.Comments of image qualiy,especially the later. >Also what film camera can you liken the viewfinder to in terms of >brightness,information >and barrel >distortion.The later my main worry. > >As always,thanks in advance > >Dave - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, MI http://www.markcassino.com - -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
