Itīs take a picture today, hope you can get it tomorrow. To take pictures of kids itīs impossible! Sold it two month latter.. Oh, and there was also the DOF factor. Too much DOF with that 7-21mm lens. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Afterswift@aol.com Sent: terįa-feira, 12 de agosto de 2003 04:06 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Cc: quiltwrite@comcast.net Subject: Re: [Leica] PWIFLIs--Dinner with Parents In a message dated 8/11/03 10:50:44 PM, pklein@2alpha.net writes: << This is the best of the lot, overall (my mother and a friend): http://www2.2alpha.com/~pklein/family/6462EmAndFriendSmall.jpg >> Peter, In my experience a digital camera reverses film speed. I had thought that if I set my Oly 5050 digital to ISO 200 or 400, I could breezily shoot EL, just as I do with my M3 and a fast Leica 50mm lens. It didn't work that way. With some experimentation I discovered that I was able to get good EL shots with the digital by setting its ISO to Auto or 64. Digitals nowadays -- whatever you pay for them -- need a lot of both light and battery power to climb up the Herter Driffeld curve -- if such a graph exists for a digital sensor. And avoid using shutter preferred mode. Use P instead, and let the digital's algorithms do the work. The 5050 is about the best of the prosumers out there now. But this is just one man's opinion. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
