(it only goes to 800) it will overcompensate by exposing for <I>longer</I> than it needs to. do you have any suggestions for getting around this? nothing comes to mind right now. <BR/><BR/>oh and no, i won't be offended at all if you get one!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248830130807084759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28191250.post-29557743444305219792007-10-31T22:10:00.000-07:002007-10-31T22:10:00.000-07:00Yo- That is indeed an attractive little camera. I'...Yo- That is indeed an attractive little camera. I've been looking for a new pocket 35mm camera since I dropped my LC-A. I may follow suit and look into this camera, I hope you won't be too offended. To me, its greatest attributes are its apeture-priority, its rangefinder, and its price.<BR/><BR/>The lens going down to only 2.8 is a little bit of a disappointment (if comparing to the Natura, at least.) Also slightly annoying is that the camera doesn't seem to have an ISO setting for 1600- although that would be easy enough to compensate for manually, I suppose. But overall it looks like a great deal and has '85 style to spare.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing what you shoot with it!Chubothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166468536483531636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28191250.post-47519495759692997092007-10-26T10:05:00.000-07:002007-10-26T10:05:00.000-07:00hey celestine, i'm glad you've started a blog. to ...hey celestine, i'm glad you've started a blog. <BR/><BR/>to answer your question, the XA's lens closes all the way down to f/22, but from what i've read it sounds like it starts to lose some sharpness once you go past f/8. i just got one yesterday off of ebay, so maybe i'll post about it once i've given it a spin.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248830130807084759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28191250.post-19499899622456918122007-10-25T16:53:00.000-07:002007-10-25T16:53:00.000-07:00what about depth of field?what about depth of field?Pluto Harnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016804438145203539noreply@blogger.com
