'cos it's replaced with the WR version....

*I* think the exposure is spot on and yes, it is clipped, but as you say it's rounded and therefore the loss of real information is minimal.

I have something similar myself.... if you run at, say 1/160 and f/16, it's quite possible.

Personally, 3.

Bret

... but you still need a disc of some sort to install it, no?

I checked it with some white card, tripod, flash and the low profile holder. I was expecting it and didn't see it. I'll try and prove in the big wide world soon enough.

Bret

pasties... nom nom.

There used to be a great pasty place in leeds, down by the main railway station. Is it still there?

Bret

well, we've been out in the rain to the huge collection of drunk people in the middle of town. Today is "vappu", which is essentially an excuse to party as hard as possible, followed by going into town with your "A Level" cap on and meet the world, drink Champagne, picnic in the park.. that kind of thing. Summer season officially open. I can't get into it.... my daughter thinks it's great - lots of silly hats, wigs, costumes etc.

as far as cooking outside is concerned - wood, please. Real stuff. Birch. We get lots of practice at the summer houses. One doesn't have an oven worth the name (no electricity) and the other we simply prefer the fireplace.

Bret

the drunkards are out in force. Urgh. Hauskaa Vappua!

I have one, too, and hardly use it.

It's light, simple, and was great for learning how to pan and focus at the same time

Bret

I was looking for a monopod and will probably go for the 234RC2 head - I also use RC2 plates on everything and if / when I get a 70-200 then the tripod mount on that will get a plate.
