Subject: Re: [OM] ISO as the Third Variable
This is one of the two or three truly "killer" advantages DSLRs have.
Imagine in some future time, you set the shutter speed and aperture exactly
the way you want to for the perfect mix of DOF and speed to capture the
motion the "right" way. Then the camera set the ISO to make it happen. In
ideal case, it would be noise-less from ISO 1 to ISO 6400. Yummmmm....
There are more than two or three advantages that DSLRs have over 35
mm. One is not having to buy and pay for processing film. I can
easily shoot 500 frames at a go-kart race (And before you guys jump
all over me for taking 500 frames, understand that in a *business*
like D&W Images, you need to shoot a lot of frames because you're
trying to get at least one, and preferably more than one photo of
*every* racer, and there are at least two hundred or more racers).
That would cost me $70 in film and about $125 in processing alone.
With the D60, it doesn't cost me anything. On my tryout day, I shot
550 frames and came home with a CD of about 330 "keepers", and sold
about $250 worth of photos that very same *day*. Same day sales of
race photos are also a BIG, BIG plus for D-SLRs.

Subject: Re: How do you use your extreme focal lengths...
Speaking only for myself, yeah, I shoot some pictures of cars and really
don't like the idea of being hit by them. That combined with tracks
pushing us all further and further back, long glass is essential. There
are often times that the 490mm (350/2.8 + 1.4A) really isn't enough.
There are tracks, especially in Europe, that are called 600mm and 800mm
tracks by photographers for good reason. With my E-10 covering the vast
majority of my work between 35mm and 200mm now, almost all the film I
shoot now on track is with the big white one. It gets more use than any
lens I have ever owned. The Can*n 500 f4 seems to be a very popular
weapon of choice these days (Stephen, you need one of those for your
D60! <g>)
Yeah, right. I'll order one up. What are they, about 6 grand?
My 100-400L IS will be here Tuesday or Wednesday.

[OM] apurely hypothetical question... -not- OT!)
A 400mm may be enough as D60 has 1.6x mag.

Yes, I expect the 100-400L will serve me well for at least 900f my
work, as it will give me a reach out to 620 mm.
