Patrice, Must say your math looks right. (actually 6.97 microns). It's likely I buried Kodak's 9 micron reference to the 645D only to have it surface when mulling the new 10D. Yes, Canon stipulated that the 5D utilizes 8.2 micron pixels. Jack --- Patrice LACOUTURE [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Using ISO 50 film can make it easier when deliberately wanting long exposures, as in blurred water shots, eliminating the need for an ND filter. Tom C. From: Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: OT Film Date: Fri, 17 Mar
