| THESE WERE SOME OF MY FIRST PHOTOS BELOW NUMBER 1100. IF I AM OUTDOORS I USE THE SPEED PRIORITY AND IN GOOD LIGHT SET ON ISO 200 I GET GREAT HANDHELD SHOTS WITH SPEEDS OF 125 TO 750 OF A SECOND. |

THIS IS 1 MEG 1 STAR focal length 326.4 1/40, f 3.1 asa 200 by jim baudo 5/21/03 PHOTO NUMBER 2110 |

| REVISED COMMENTS 7/30/2003 I HAVE NOW TAKEN 4700 PHOTOS WITH THE HP 850. ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WITH THE TIFFEN 2 X LENS. I NOW FIND THAT BEYOND 5 TO 6 X OPTICAL ZOOM MY PHOTOS SEEM TO VARY IN RESULTS. I SEEM TO GET A LESS DESIRABLE PHOTO IF THE PHOTO HAS A LOT OF WHITE COLOR IN THE AREA I FOCUSED ON. OUTDOOR SHOTS SEEM TO VARY MORE THAN INDOOR SHOTS. I GUESS THAT MY SECRET HAS BEEN TO TAKE MULTIPLE SHOTS IF TIME ALLOWS AND FOCUS ON DIFFERENT AREAS AND EVEN USE DIFFERENT EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. JIM 7/30/2003 |
| REVISED COMMENTS 2/24/2004 I GET EMAIL EVERYDAY ASKING ABOUT THE QUALITY WITH THE 2 X LENS AND MY ANSWER IS THIS. AS YOU INCREASE MAGNIFICATION, TO MAINTAIN QUALITY YOU MUST NOT USE A LARGE F STOP LIKE 3.5. USE A F 11 AND ON THE 850 200 INDEX. IF LIGHT QUALITY IS POOR YOU MUST USE A TRIPOD AS SPEED WILL GO TO SLOWER THAN A 1/8 OF A SECOND. I MADE A ADAPTOR THAT TAKES ME DOWN TO A F 45 AND IT WORKS GREAT ON A BRIGHT SUNLIT DAY.
