Yeah, and not just out on sunny days! I've photographed a rehearsal for the ballet "The Nutcracker" in quite dim light. Fuji (and Kodak) 800 pushed two stops (3200) and the exposures something like f/1.4 @ 1/500 to around f/2.8 @ 1/60 depending on which part of the room I'm in. I've did it on my own time, it was evening when I'm not on. But I'm having lots of fun. In two hours I have about 27 photos (6 rolls) that I'm considering for my photo page. Three or four really nice pictures. I wanted to shoot this myself, just because it's so much fun to do available light with my M6 (and R8). - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch
