Alternatively, use a faster lens. The Tamron 28-200 is an f4 - f5.6 or
something like that isn't it? When shooting in low light try an f2.8 or
faster lens. My 28-70 f2.8 allows me to shoot in relatively low light
with no hunting on my MZ-S.
Cheers, Mike.

Hi Nagaraj,
I can only vouch for Amateur Photgrapher. I'm only interested in the news
bits, biographies and book reviews, although the reviews are pretty good,
I only give them a glance really. Nice competition results pics, a few

I guess it makes sense. Up to now. digital photography has never really
been about "quality".
I find the Fuji Super CCD technology somewhat of a joke. You can't end up
with more raw material than you start with.

>From Amateur Photographer (27 Oct):
'Pentax set to scrap plan for flagship digital launch'
'Pentax is likely to shelve plans to launch a 6 MP flagship digital
camera in favour of a 'lower-end' SLR to be unveiled next year.

I just bought an MX on ebay for half of what I normally see them go for.
I'll let you know how it is when i get it later this week.
Looks like a really clean F* 300mm F4.5 is on eBay. Buy It Now price is
$575, which isn't bad for a clean example:
