bscott Posted December 28, 2010 Share #14 Â Posted December 28, 2010 Just a perfect shot in every way. Do you remember the f stop used and I am curious what camera body you will use when the DMR is no longer in use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share #15 Â Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Just a perfect shot in every way. Do you remember the f stop used and I am curious what camera body you will use when the DMR is no longer in use? Â I'm pretty sure I used f/8 (effective) meaning f/5.6 on the lens minus a stop for the 1.4x extender. I have no idea what camera I'll use when the DMR is no longer usable. I bought a backup DMR to delay the inevitable. I'm hoping that when the time comes there will be a full-frame CCD camera available with 16-bit bit depth, no AA filter and a good viewfinder. Ideally it would also operate the auto-diaphragm of R lenses. Edited December 28, 2010 by wildlightphoto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
