Nearly all my work is shot with the 80~200/f4 Vario and the 21 Super Angulon... also an f4 max. Living north of the 49th, our days are not as bright as those in San Diego. So, in order to keep shutter speeds up for the 200mm settings, ISO 400 has become the speed of choice for me. And, you know, I find the modern 400s to be remarkably fine grained for the speed! - ---------- David Young, | égalité, liberté, Victoria, CANADA | fraternité et Beaujolais.
