In my case the ambient was almost enough for 1600 iso print film, so shooting superia 800 with on camera was more than enough for F5.6 100mm and no red eye, that and the stage size didn't allow for putting my strobes up. --- tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Original Message- From: Bruce

I don't think it's going to make a lot of difference. Besides, the 1.4 doesn't perform well at wide open. You might find yourself with more useful shots with the 1.7. regards, Alan Chan Or if any one has an A 1.4 lens they'd like to sell/tradethough i'm afraid my budget is very, very
