Of course, the digicams I used had zooms that were pretty slow. So I had to use the highest ISO rating. That led to noise suppression software kicking in. The results were some nice snapshots that turned to mush and smears when enlarged. I could have done much better with a 75/1.4 stopped down to 2.0 with Fuji 800 or that new 1600. By the way, KEH shipped my lens today, and it should be here on Friday. That's great, as I'm one week behind in PAWs.
