What conditions are you working on? If you reach the end of the exposure range of the lens, the camera will adjust the shutter speed to keep you from over exposing or under exposing your photo. For example, if the light demands f/1.4 at 1/1000 sec., and you have your Vario Apo on, and the shutter speed is set for 1/1000, then the camera will drop the shutter speed to 1/250 to match the maximum aperture of 2.8. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Cynicism often masquerades for sophistication in our society, but more often than not it's merely an indicator of resentment.
