I won't be going back any time soon so no further tests are forthcoming, but like you I'm just curious as to the cause. I use a little gizmo called a whibal http://whibal.com/products/whibal/index.html as a reference point to get accurate color temperature set in the Adobe Raw Converter, and I assume I can use it in Lightroom too. It's pretty compact and easy to use when I remember to use it. As previously noted, I sure can't do it by my eye. > Reading between the lines at dpreview over many tests a lot of cameras > shift > wb as the ISO goes up especially in tungsten, none as major as this shows. Interesting, thanks. If it was film I would say it might be a reciprocity issue but I don't know if that applies to digital. I guess I'm just enough of a control freak that I don't like these kinds of surprises when I see my contact sheets, film or digi. > > Happy snaps in OK Thanks! Same back to you. I *have* been snapping (mostly dogs but some babies; amazing similarities in photographing both when they are young) and will get some posted before 2007 is half over I promise. --Bob
