So I have uploaded the samples of colour shifts. There are two pairs: all are in manual white balance, manual (same in the pair) exposure, no flash used, all taken at the same second after each other (at 3 fps "motodrive" speed). Oh, forgot to add, shutter speed was around 1/500 for the first two,

It's a typical, sharp high-contrast junction blooming that happens with nearly any digital camera. Whited-out sky against tree limbs is one of the most likely situations to cause this effect. Normally, you deal with it in post-processing by making a color selection for the purple fringing and the

While we're on flash voltage triggers I'll try again with a question that I have posted to the list before. Some time back I bought a used Vivitar AF 6000 ring flash from a list member. It is Vivitar's current model. Trying it on the PZ-1p, it caused the camera to lock up. I figured I was just

$225 is a bit high for an A50/1.4, but in auctions, demand and desire rule. You can't bet on an item always getting that high a price, however. I saw an A24/2.8 go for $260 or so recently, compared to the $150 I paid for mine, which came with extras like a hood, spare caps, etc. Godfrey --- Ra

My friend John Bean in the UK uses the K28/3.5 with his *isdDS and considers it one of the best lenses he's ever used. Sharp and contrasty, beautiful feel to the focusing ring, excellent out of focus rendering, etc. I'm sure the K35/3.5 would be good too, although I'm not familiar with that parti
