Hi Steve, on 13 Jan 03 you wrote in pentax.list: trees, fences, etc., were quite easily visible to the eye. The LX exposures of roughly 30 sec at f/5.6. Rather short, I think, compared to some of the suggested exposure tables that I've seen, and sure enough, the negatives are so badly

Hello, I wanted to experiment with the low light capabilities of my recently acquired LX, so last week I went out on a clear night and tried to take photographs. The results were a little disappointing, and I'm hoping that somebody will be able to explain why. I used the LX in 'automatic' mode

Finally got a chance to play with the LX at night. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the low light and OTF metering - I got by taking 2 or 3 of each rather than the 8 or so I was doing with the k1000 in low light. a couple samples are at http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id
