Then again, I'm guessing that not many of those shots were taken in low
light with a 75mm 'lux wide open...  More of the (appropriately enough)
point-and-shoot variety of photography ;)

f/8, zone focus, incident light reading, gaffer tape the bugger to a pole,
and stick it out of the foxhole while the bullets fly over your head ;)
