Tim, You better keep that camera/lens combo point at young women. The older women are gonna kill you if you publish their wrinkles! Regards, Bob S. There is a long way to ISO 51200 still and I bet that that ISO alone can hide any and all wrinkles even with the DFA100 :) kris -- PDML

Normally I'm not one to hicjack, or even derail, a good pun thread, but Brian made me remember something... There was this guy on one of the Svalbard outings who had a dark filter permanently attached to his lens, no matter the weather. And yes, he did refer to it as a polar filter... Jostein
