I don't have the DMR, but I feel confident that you could easily work at a moderately higher ISO and still get superb results. We do have some LUG folk who produce magical results with that gear. Perhaps they'll chime in. Unless you are using a tripod, those 1/15th or so exposures would very likely have far more effect on your image than that modest ISO increase. I'm looking forward to enjoying more pictures from you.

And I don't know why I did focus that way that moment. Maybe because I'm not comfortable with DMR yet. Thanks you very much for reviews. Ali Yazdi
