the ones that you can set are the ones that correspond to the click stops on an aperture ring. it's harder to set between clicks on a ring, but it can be done. it can't be done on the *istD series because they chose not to, but i don't see where 1/10 stop accuracy would be worth it, at least in

Hi! This is very similar to one of my recent photos, so naturally I like the idea ;-)) Well, I naturally wasn't aware of that ;-). Unfortunately, the framing or cropping leaves something to be desired. The angle of the bench lessens the impact of the photo and creates an unneeded and unwelc
