Maybe the lack of a motor on the R8 is making it harder for you to shoot as many sharp photos. I know when shooting slow speeds with long glass having the motor wind out 3 or 4 frames at once helps me get a higher percent sharp. >I even wonder, for one frivolous moment, what it might be light to try >shooting such stuff with a rangefinder. Then I just had a beer. Donal you have it backwards have a beer then try to shoot it with a rangefinder, that way you can see the image better. :) Harrison McClary hmphoto@delphi.com http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
