The only failure I have had was not electronic but the write protection switch falling off.

If in doubt, I suggest using the Gallery so it can be filtered.

On the face of it there shouldn't be a problem in the forum section, but it does indeed depend on the photos.

For those who don't want to follow links, can I just add that with black and white film you expose at higher ISO values by extending the development time. As Ken said, simple.

With colour transparency film you adjust at least one of the development times, but you need to be careful as colour balance may change if you go too far.

With colour negative film you can't change the processing but you can take advantage of quite a wide exposure latitude.

In any event there are/have been many ultra-fast films on the market.

And this is why we still think of lenses in focal length. 50mm we understand. All the gobbledegook we don't.

46 degrees means nothing to anyone in a real world sense and neither does "100m wide view at 100m distance" because it's unwieldy and no-one can judge distances like that.

What we do is look through the viewfinder and zoom and/or move our position till we have the view we want. At that point the figures are not helpful anyway.

I like the look of that I-10 and in this instance I think the white one looks very appealing.

I think I'll stick to the Internet Way. Less travelling....

Nobody should ever look down on any form of photography, as it's all valid. Those who take family photos will record people and events that have a lasting value, sometimes way above the artistic stuff....which pictures are a treasure trove of records of our past?

I shall leave gartmore to defend his position as he wishes, but asinine his comments most certainly are not. He knows more about shooting movies than most of us if not all of us on this forum.

Just thinking about the SMC Pentax-FA 50mm f1.4 lens, a few months ago it was priced at around £165 and rapidly gained a reputation for being a highly desireable portrait lens. They were selling well to just about everyone, fuelled by the reputation on forums such as ours.

I was reflecting on how long this process would have taken pre-Internet...a mention in a Photo Magazine, chat at the Camera Club, slow, slow, slow....

On the Internet it's all done, over and absorbed into the received knowledge in a little over three months. Quite remarkable....

It might be nice to have a FA 50mm f1.4 (currently on offer for £299 at SRS) or the rather more expensive 55mm f1.4 DA* but you could try with your 50-200mm and see what happens. Best to do this perhaps before you spend a lot of money?

I know these lenses are not that fast, but with a high ISO you might be surprised at what you can achieve. A test run at a relatively unimportant event would give you some ideas.

The pixel track SR does work, but it is slow.
