Maybe when shooting at 1/30 and below, I should set to "continuous" and fire of three. At least, now, I've finally formed the habit of setting the lens data when I change lenses. I only own 35 and 90. I remember when I forgot to change from 35 to 90 in EXIF and you asked: "How did you get that close to that duck". Incidentally, way back in the early forties, I got myself traumatized. After looking for the longest time for a decent 35mm camera, I found a used Wirgin at Central Camera in Chicago. (I think I told this story before) ?hot a roll of Kodachrome and proudly took the slides into the lab to show off to a colleague. I also took the camera and had a finger wag from a security guard--this was the Argonne Forest site of the wartime Manhattan Project. Well, this guy starts looking at the slides with a 20X magnifier and announces: "These ain't sharp; your camera is no good" (they had been taken at 1/100--light camera, low inertia.) But when he got to the last shot he exclaimed: "This one is sharp." That last picture had been taken using a tripod. I was so traumatized that I wouldn't shoot handheld under 1/250 for years. >Herb, is that EXIF data correct? 90mm?
